ANIMA OBSCURA
A FASHION EDITORIAL BY STORM NIJHUIS & DENISE BAKKER
The editorial Anima Obscura portrays the confrontation with the dark Anima; the repressed feminine side within the male psyche. Defined by Carl Jung, she represents the internal feminine archetype, the Anima as a powerful, often hidden, force that influences emotion, intuition, and sensitivity. Through neglect, she can become known as the “Death Demon”, or “Femme Fatale”, and shows up as a shadow: a seductive and destructive presence.
The narrative of Anima Obscura plays between a dream and nightmare. The characters find themselves on a stage, caught in a surreal performance directed by their shadows.
