“Magdalene” a new exploration of religious iconography and sexuality…

Inspired by a circa 2010 Dolce and Gabbana Ad campaign featuring Madonna, I set out to shoot my own campaign drawing on my own personal influences of what it means to be a woman in the eyes of God.

In my “Magdalene” pose I’m asking God if I am good enough to be loved… I grew up in a church with an impossible God, and watched women in my family suffer at the ideals of ever being good enough for God which translated in never being good enough for anybody. What did it mean for them to be right in the eyes of God, or their husbands?

My ancestors never figured it out, but I’m here to translate for them that everyone and every woman is perfect, the divine feminine even.
