In the creation of the series, I was inspired by powerful women in the reality of events which had taken place and still are in the place where I was born and live, as well as by tales of reality-altering women throughout history.
The war depicted in the series is analogous to battles which are not physical by necessity; rather, they are cultural battles related to values which constantly take place in our lives.
In the series, I integrate landscapes and sites of immense power of various locations all over the globe with imagined, at times futuristic, locations as the backdrop to the unfolding scenes and the chain of events.
The main character was photographed in a studio according to a meticulous plan for the sake of later integrating her into the background, which was tailor-made to complement the scenes.
Integrated into the scenes are symbols of various cultures from historical times, such as symbols of the Papago tribe (Tohono O’odham) of Native American culture in south Arizona, which correspond particularly to the narrative of the showcased series, but may correspond in their various messages to any periodical time, messages which depict the repetition of the cycle of life and the bloody, redundant wars taking places again and again throughout history and for many a generation, which are not being studied for the sake of change and their prevention in years to come.
