Alanya Toth
Through Her Eyes, the Earth is a confrontation of trauma and documents movement through the landscape as a means of therapy. Influenced by historical narratives such as hysteria, the persecution of witches, and the danger of women who moved too freely, it asks what it means to be present in your body and reclaim the land that has sought to confine.
The photographs are about arrival, not at a resolution, but at a calmer state. Within this state, the body is held by the landscape, and the landscape has absorbed something in return. Walking becomes an act of healing and is a way to reconnect the body with the earth.
