Her by Neeltje de Vries
Her, a 228-page monologue in which Neeltje shares her own perspective on what it means to be a woman.
Neeltje’s work reveals that, beyond an impressive repertoire of beauties, women are essentially free, independent, powerful, and as boundless as they are unfathomable. The women in Neeltje’s work do not seek to charm the viewer. They simply are—and they are enough. They want nothing from you; it doesn’t matter what you want. They are untamed and untamable. With this, Neeltje not only breaks away from the traditional way of viewing women but also demonstrates that women are so much more than what they have been reduced to by the dominant male gaze and centuries of stereotyping in a patriarchal society.
Through her work, Neeltje offers her own vision of what it means to be a woman—what it means to be free from expectations, prejudices, roles, and patterns. She translates this into aesthetic nuances, where geometric shapes, repetition of patterns, and deliberate cropping subtly reveal her background in graphic design.
