The Gates of Life - The Ring, The Seal
This piece is born from the experience of looking back at myself, the beginning of a journey through my femininity and the discovery of the wonderful complexity that being a woman means. Each Door of Life represents the altar of a goddess, the door of her sacred temple in which all the secrets and all the answers are.
May your journey within be sweet, sister. Good path.

Statement
I look for sacred manifestations in the most profane realities, within an intimate framework, and without barriers, resorting to techniques such as scanning and the superimposition of images, which caress the spirituality and the divinity that lies at the skin surface; An internal dialogue about identity, memory and the physical body as a home and a vehicle for connection.
BIO
BEATRIZ EGGLI is a Swiss photographer born in Caracas, Venezuela. She studied Photodesign at the School of Design in Bern and has participated in various exhibitions in several countries.
"The impermanence of memory is a theme that I began to work on in albumen prints, fusing elements drawn from my memories in Venezuela with landscapes of my surroundings during my integration process in Switzerland. Superimpositions of photographs taken during visits to friends and relatives in the diaspora help me to capture the way in which my memory mixes images of the places that have become home and refuge for so many of my affections.
I am currently motivated to give visibility to my internal dialogue about identity and the physical body, which I understand as a home and a vehicle for connection. I use a scanner to achieve an intimate approach and with it I caress the surface of the skin in search of sacred manifestations in the most profane realities. I continue the path of the body and use my blood and hair to create new images and explore new media."
