Storytelling: Photography
The photography of Skywoman Earthwoman is a visual archive of culture, spirituality and the quiet ways people stay connected to the Earth. Through a lens shaped by anthropology and holistic healing, it honours ritual, land and everyday earth‑based living.

Rituals & Rites of Passage.
Ceremonies and thresholds that mark change: from Yemanjá in Brazil and Kambala in India, to Sufi whirling in Türkiye and Balinese full‑moon offerings. This work also witnesses intimate rites of passage such as Ritu Kala Samskara, La Cerrada (Closing of the Bones), pregnancies, births and weddings – not as staged events, but as something ancient, wild and sacred moving through the body.
An assemblage of women gather round in a sheltered section by Casa de Yemanjá. Their delicate hands cradle woven baskets of flowers… picking each flower one by one. Yellow. White. Blue. Red… passing the brimming baskets down like a sacred game of pass the parcel. They treat them with such fragility; some balance them on the crown of their heads, others on top of their shoulders, all looking like royalty.

Land & Sacred Places.
Land as memory‑keeper. From Sahara dunes at sunrise and Nubian villages along the Nile, to stone circles in England, markets in Marrakech, jungles in Brazil and the seas of Greece, these images explore how place holds myth, history and belonging.
Everyday Earth‑Based Living
The small, living rituals of wellness and nourishment: Ayurvedic kitchens, herbal preparations, Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga in nature, sound and energy work, ancestral cooking and plant medicine. Each photograph is an invitation to remember that nature offers its own pharmacy, its own nourishment, its own quiet wisdom.
