“The red circle" by Tammy Mike Laufer

In my work I often engage with the human body, the personal side of things, and feminine aspects. The circle is the shape of a large uterus, closed and secure, embracing, warm ,relaxing, encouraging and challenging. The circle is a basic structure in nature which collects energy and utilizes it. The circle echoes round feminine shapes. 

A woman can give birth, and can also, with the aid of reflection and meditation, give birth to her new Self. Inside the circle, with the aid of the personal process, the woman looks into herself. The process occurs within the space of the circle, a space that allows the separation between internal and external, and enables the mind to focus. This is my very own realm of existence. 

In the space created in the circle, the woman is free to find answers and solutions. 

Today women have no time to bleed at ease, we are too stressed, we have no time to shed the old and recharge. The rhythm of life that we have created does not permit women to change, does not enable us to feel the pulse, or be inspired. 

The female image in the red circle is a spinning coil. A spinning coil is an Asian symbol of a spiral feminine energy, that expands and allows to move forward and grow.
