More women power was present at the Hungry Eye Fair with Nancy Poeran, Louise van den Heuvel, and Marie van der Heijden. I first discovered Nancy Poeran at an earlier edition of Haute Photographie, where she used AI to transform human bodies into twirling, dancing forms of light and shadow. This time, she has taken her exploration further with a delicate series, Animus Anima, part flower, part human form, pleasing to the eye and stunning in its sensitivity.

Louise van den Heuvel presented more provocative portraits of women, each with a playful wink. I particularly enjoyed the image of an elderly lady warning people not to disturb her important gardening duties.

And finally, I found myself once again in front of the striking photographs of Marie van der Heijden, whose work I had first encountered at the Affordable Art Fair in 2021, still as captivating now as it was then.
