STAR WOMEN: Silver & Gold is a collection of hand painted, solarized silver gelatin prints. Every photograph is accompanied by a poem, explaining who the Stars are and their purpose of being. This project was born during my wakeful nights. While I was lying on my balcony and looking up to the sky, I imaged the stars coming down in female form. The beautiful creatures, ageless, shining in gold and silver, sweet and compassionate, leading us through the darkest nights…
STAR WOMEN
For many years
the sky has been our home
we are in love with the world
we always roam
Between the fragments
of astral dust
we hide our age
and all the mysteries
We are Star Women
your flame in the night
We are Star Women
loving and bright
Our hair is luminous
nipples on fire
we want, we desire
walk by your side
as your invisible guide
To be your soulmate
it was meant to be
we are here for thee
here for thee

****Star MATAHARI****
When stars are playing their games
and you sleep deep
me, your Matahari
come to answer your needs
to hold you between my thighs
touch your lips
touch your eyes
so you can dream about passion
make love to someone who you desire
and rise higher and higher
****Star HVALKA****
I cherish all huge creatures
of this world
lighting their majesty
fearlessness
and vigorous motion
to them belongs my light
to them belongs my devotion
Star Hvalka will show you the way
to the moon and all stars above
with gracefulness and love
****Star SLNKA****
My hands are bright
the moon paints them always
his strength I share with you
in an old maze
I, Slnka, shine for you
when you walk lonely
I shine for you
when you are the only
who is searching
****Star GEVIRKA***
In the high meadows
I will find your shy eyes
and follow you on roads
which no one knows but you
We will walk side by side
looking for a warm place to hide
I am your Gevirka, the Star
if you wish to reach me
don’t run too far
****Star LUPKA****
Wild souls
animals of pride and grace
those who don’t know you
want you to chase
You, animals
who run mountains, hills
woods and rivers
Lupka knows well
that you earned to be called winners
The bravest you are in my light
no one can tame you
no one can hold you tight
****Star KAHOYNKA****
I, Kahoynka see your future
it’s burning on my chest
has thousands of strings
like a spider’s nest
Have faith in me
I will lead you there
where your heart should be
We might meet confusion
doubt or fear
roads will be dusty
bridges unstable and rusty
Keep your hand in mine
and in the end of the road
we'll have a sip of wine
****Star STROMKA****
I am Stromka
your strain, your root
I can hear your romantic whisper
your midnight flute
In the early morning
when everyone else sleeps
only for you
I will uncover my breast
at our secret nest
The runic pleasures are your remedy
for all the wounds you feel
come closer
I am here to heal
****Star DREVKA****
Talk to me
tell me all about your fears
Talk to me
I want to hold your warm tears
Talk to me
until I can carry
When dawns will paint the sky
crystal calix will offer us sherry
and you will say:
“Drevka, let’s again be merry”
****Star POHONKA***
My sweetness
will heal your old pains
My gentleness
will nourish your cracked skin
My carefulness
will help your soul grow
with calmness and joy
I am Pohonka
the Star with a soft touch
I will kiss your forehead
when life asks from you too much
****Star ERANKA****
You
the smallest of the smallest
with strength of an elephant
I am your Star Eranka
your admirer
your light holder
I will carry you on my finger tip
on the corner of my lip
You
the bravest creatures
the magic of the cosmos
I will swim in mud with you
when the night is purple-blue
****Star FEMMKA****
I sing la femme song
when night sits in my bosom
I sing for you my woman
when there is no one to touch you
when you feel lonesome
cherchez la femme
cherchez la femme
Femmka’s lips whisper to yours
You, the cause of all bloody wars
You, the handle on the ancient doors
You, the secret behind men’s tears
You, the knife of all cut ears
I sing la femme song
for you, my madame
for you, my evening bird
who’s prayers will always be heard
