Metanoia

In my new self-portrait project Metanoia, I explore a metaphor of expectations through female sexuality and the patriarchal system that imposes restrictive roles, limiting women’s autonomy and self-questioning in a society that fears introspection and hinders self-knowledge.

About Artist

Karen Kea

Mexican photographer who began her artistic journey as a self-taught painter. In 2019, she decided to dedicate her artistic practice exclusively to photography. Through her self-portrait work, focused on solitude and introspection, she seeks to give voice to profound emotions and explore her inner world. Her photographic work is deeply influenced by visual arts, music, psychology, and spirituality. Her photography reflects an introspective vision that connects with symbols and the unconscious. For Karen, photography is a bridge between reflection and art—a universal language that transcends cultural barriers. With this approach, her work shares her unique perspective of the world, inviting viewers to discover new viewpoints and reflect on their own realities.
