Born from clay is divine. Sea foam is for little ones, great men grow from clay. A radical re-evaluation of the supreme prehistoric archetype—the Venus of Dolní Věstonice. This work serves as the opening monument of an ongoing geographic research, where the iconic female form is stripped to its raw essence. Created as the first piece of the series, captured in the dark, cinematic atmosphere of the newly established INtheSHADOW studio.
