"Animus" is a deeply symbolic sculpture that seeks to explore and manifest the masculine aspect of the female subconscious, referred to in Jungian psychology as the 'animus'. This representation is conceived to bring balance to the interplay between the masculine and feminine energies within, enhancing self-awareness and understanding of one's inner self.
Crafted with organic, biomorphic forms, the sculpture draws inspiration from the natural world, and ancestral echoes.
The textured surface may appear rugged and solid, embodying the characteristics traditionally ascribed to masculinity, while the contours retain a reference to the feminine form, reinforcing the theme of interconnectedness and balance.
