Therapeutic photo art book brings together artistic and intimate black-and-white photographs of Estonian women, highlighting the uniqueness of each individual. The photo book reveals the beauty and distinctiveness of femininity, offering both an aesthetic experience and a journey of self-awareness.
The book celebrates women’s inner beauty and invites viewers to see it from a new perspective. For those encountering women’s bodies so closely for the first time, art provides a pathway to approach the essence of femininity through the abundant form of the Yoni.
The anonymous photographs portray brave women who dared to reveal their bodies in an artistic photoshoot. Afterward, many of them experienced a profound sense of wonder and awe when seeing themselves from new angles, touched deeply by their own beauty. Again and again, participants have said it was a journey that, within a
safe and supportive space, felt deeply healing. The photographs are created by artist and photographer Rannar Laur, who has always admired feminine beauty as a manifestation of the Goddess embodied on Earth. By capturing this beauty as art, Rannar seeks to show women themselves the immeasurable depth that resides within each of them.
The photo book is complemented by short stories about being a woman, discovering one’s body, and creating a deeper connection with oneself. The short texts are written by Helena Veidenbaum.
The foreword to the book is written by therapist Sille Ruus.
