The fluid nature of the woman is explored in this piece.

On one side women are expected to be almost saints, holy and are venerated for their pious behaviour. But on the other side there is the deep feminine sexuality, which if expressed openly women are despised for.

“I was feeling free, and this was very important to me. I was growing out of the water with the water into the beauty of nature, creating a sexual feminine being.”

– Carina Martins

The deep red flower blooms from the torso of the aquatic woman, symbolizing the passion the woman felt, dripping with sexual desire.

A winged fish and water droplet represent the unconscious desires while a mirror shaped portal opens beside them.

“This was important to feel free in my feminine and sexuality as a woman.”
