Ishtar
The character’s aesthetic, while celebrating the fluidity of being, evokes a strong and assertive femininity, expressed through a form that rejects traditional codes of beauty and submission. The body of this figure, both majestic and free, echoes the image of woman as a bearer of transformation, power, and resilience in the face of imposed normsn a balance between strength and vulnerability, power and delicacy.
This character stands as a figure of resistance against objectification and confinement, embodying the emancipation of the spirit, whether masculine or feminine, while placing a central emphasis on the feminine notion of power that permeates the work.
The floating spheres and abstract shapes suggest the tension between the soul and the material world. This visual transcends the idea of traditional beauty while tying it to elements that reflect modernity and pressing societal concerns: technological excess, environmental issues, and the urgent need to rethink our relationship to reality. The character thus becomes a metaphor for silent revolt, a resistance against systems that attempt to limit what is possible, whether in relation to femininity, identity, or the collective unconscious.
The name Ishtar, borrowed from the Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and fertility, refers to the duality of the human being and the inner conflicts that shape consciousness. This name also evokes feminine power, a force of both creation and destruction and a call for the emancipation of the mind and body in a world that often seeks to constrain them. The goddess Ishtar, like the artwork itself, embodies the potential for transformation, a break from ancient codes, and renewal.
This digital work invites us to question the relationship between men and women with their own reflection and with society as a whole, like a snapshot of collective consciousness that transcends time and gender. The artistic object becomes a catalyst for deep questioning, where the search for meaning and truth unfolds through the beauty, tension, and fluidity of an image.
Ishtar is an invitation to explore transformation, a transformation that deeply resonates with the quest for power and freedom: the freedom to be oneself, beyond the constructs imposed by society.
