Symbiosis

Master’s Project

About the project

Symbiosis explores the profound resilience shared between nature and the feminine spirit. Rooted in the elements — water, fire, air, and earth —this project takes us on a visual and introspective journey, inviting us to reconnect with the cycles of nature and the inner strength that mirrors them. It challenges the long-standing association of women and nature as fragile, reclaiming this connection as a source of power and transformation.

Inspired by my Swiss upbringing, where I was surrounded by the raw beauty of the natural world, I found parallels between the resilience of nature and my own experience as a woman navigating a patriarchal system. Through this project, I aim to celebrate that inner strength—our ability to grow, adapt, and thrive in the face of challenges.

This work is also deeply personal. It is dedicated to the women in my life—those whose strength and resilience often go unnoticed, even to themselves. These images are a love letter to their power, reminding us all to embrace the beauty and strength that has always been within.
