Indomitable DisPosition 05
“While the series featuring animals bears significant similarities to the one with plants, the final series, which focuses on humans, intentionally diverges in concept. This time using the canvas of a nude Asian female body. Could this series of photographs have been more closely aligned with the first two? “Yes, originally,” she responds. She was certain about incorporating bank notes into the picture. However, initially wanted to symbolize a human body using branches and other tree cuttings.
Plants and animals never step out of balance,” she says. “They are never deceptive, they never fool themselves,” she adds. Plants and animals live their lives fully as what they are, and when they pass, they give back to Nature in full.
Indeed, humans are not the same. With that in mind the artistic representation in the final part of this trilogy could not be identical. Money symbolizes various aspects such as greed, survival, self-indulgence, ambition, and power. It is not inherently evil, but perhaps it serves as a gateway through which we progressively lose touch with our true selves. It’s a potent symbol, far from being a cliché, especially in a world increasingly driven by consumption. “Sex, money, power, this has never been my kind of art,” she elaborates. ~ Eric Buvelot
