Description
“duality”
/djuːˈalɪti/
Noun
an instance of opposition or contrast between two concepts or two aspects of something; a dualism.
Being a woman is often an ongoing balancing act. It’s about understanding that strength coexists with vulnerability. It’s about understanding that you are the architect of your femininity, however you choose to express it. It’s about outgrowing the rigid constructs of what a woman is, and remoulding it. In a society which constantly seeks to pit women against one another, part of being a woman is understanding that you exists amidst a global sisterhood, which simultaneously unites, and empowers.
“duality” is an image I chose in order to display the multifaceted elements which shape womxnhood. My image subject is Sophia Aurora.

Concept
Alongside our second print issue, shado has produced a 3-month photography project with 18 photographers around the world where each photographer has responded to the brief I AM A WOMAN.
There is no one way of defining what it personally means to identify as a woman – and we wanted to leave it to a community of photographers to open up these interpretations.
