“From the ancient times till today’s post modern world, a woman has been a complex creature and sometimes a sealed secret: a labyrinth who has once been a symbol of goodness and therefore praised; whereas, she has also been treated as demon and condemned of female subtlety and craftiness. This image together with wisdom and knowledge will create a brilliant and multi-layer combination which is sometimes referred to as hypocritical; however, to unravel the secret of this thousand-year-old spell is only possible by seeing and reading the heart. Otherwise, these faces are only pieces of this thousand-piece mirror of truth, parts of which are in our hands.”
