Catharsis by samantha everton

Catharsis is a series of images of contrasting female figures portraying the intersection of Eastern and Western culture. Employing the recurring motif of the butterfly, they are finished in rich, vibrant colour, with elegant detail in costumes, setting and form, reflecting upon contemporary culture and society. These images are both hauntingly beautiful and deeply compelling. Their strength lies not only in their poignancy and intensity, but in their ability to communicate deep and profound messages to all that see them.
