Mother Earth

2019–present

Mother Earth is a concept we are all familiar with since childhood. She is usually imagined as a warm, all-knowing, self-healing, mysterious and magical being.

But what if we were wrong about her this entire time?

What if, instead of an older wise woman, we encountered her when she was young and still figuring things out? Maybe she had a thing for Jupiter, while Mars was always up in her business? Maybe she had a secret thing with her friend Venus? She had humor, desire, insecurity and far more personality than we usually allow her.

The moon is her pet, a companion she’s had since childhood. The stars are her family and ancestors.

And what if she were fascinated by humans? While we moved across her surface, she watched us. She became especially interested in women - their relationships, freedom, emotions, struggles, joys, contradictions, and all else that make them human. There she sits as the gravity for their feet while she wonders what it might feel like to become one herself.

Mother Earth imagines humanity from her perspective: a young deity looking at femininity, freedom, desire and longing from the outside in.
