In Femininity in Focus, Louise D’Eer explores femininity as something that is constantly in motion and in development. Through analogue black-and-white images, she captures the tension between control and surrender, between strength and vulnerability. On one hand, the series consists of fragments of bodies that evoke a sense of femininity; on the other hand, it searches for traces of the feminine within elements of nature where at its core lies the cyclical principle - the interconnectedness between blossoming and decay.

​

The female bodies do not appear as objects of contemplation, but as carriers of history and experience, in which the layered nature of being a woman becomes visible and tangible. They challenge deep-rooted expectations of how femininity may and can be shown. The images are not mere representations, but emerge from the encounter between the one who reveals herself and the one who looks. In this way, femininity appears as something relational - continuously shaped in the exchange between self and other.
