Jeannine Unsen shows women that pose in carefully imagined settings, raising questions of vulnerability, identity - more precisely the archetype wise women - and representation.

The timeless contexts in which the characters reveal themselves arise from a tight collaboration between the artist and her model exploring her models mystical feminine nature. Fundamental to her work is a reflection on our longing for spiritual yet deep human connection.

The carefully crafted process during which the portrait is taken is particularly relevant as it explores our ability to face stillness and how we allow ourselves to reconnect to our ancient wisdom. What makes our heart sing and how we can shine a light on others.

The artist's sensitively crafted work focuses on portraits staged with an excessive love for details and contemplation.

To materialize the non tangible pulse that radiates from every human being, the artist gives corpus back to photography by loading the body with gesture and memories through hand stitched embroidery.
