Georgiana Feidi, a photographer from Romania, shared with us an ongoing project titled ‘Chrysalis.’ This collection of celestial images explores the wisdom of Earth and humanity’s place in the ancient, eternal cycles of Nature.
The artist plays with light, reflection, and a strong blue tint to create a fascinating balance between organic and artificial. The Earth is a mysterious, autonomous being in the midst of the cosmos, and we—humans—just happen to live on it. It is our home; therefore, it lost the sense of mystery to us, but it never ceased to be mystical.
Through Feidi’s photographs, the viewer can recapture this forfeited sense of wonder and see the planet how it is supposed to be seen—as a miraculous object of study and curiosity that used to exist long before our perception and will continue to live long after we’re gone.
Feidi’s series invites viewers to return to their roots. The haunting whale songs of the Earth are the ones calling. Through otherworldly imagery the artist creates rich, powerfully constructed visuals that, if they were sounds, would have long, reverberating echoes.
‘Chrysalis’ is an invitation to re-submerge under the quiet, metaphorical amniotic fluid of Nature, surrender to a spiritual, dream-like state of newfound understanding of the sacred geometry of the Universe, and re-emerge as our true selves—wandering entities and consciousnesses stripped of our material skins, omnipresent in time and space.
Visually stunning, well-coagulated, and clear in the message and ideas it transmits, Feidi’s ongoing series is just as alluring as it is third-eye-opening.
Artist’s Note:
“Chrysalis considers our planet Earth as a living entity, undergoing its own cycles of rest, regeneration, and transformation. The series portrays the Earth in a state of slumber, presenting nature as an active system in continuous becoming. Through thoughtful editing techniques and a restrained blue tonal range, I explore the interdependence between human presence and natural processes. The human body appears as a transitional form—a symbol of permeability and change, mirroring ecological cycles of renewal.
Chrysalis examines gradual shifts and states of suspension, where stillness contains movement beneath the surface. The series reflects on cyclical time as opposed to linear progress, proposing that change is constant. In a culture of constant urgency, the intelligence of nature feels increasingly vital. Listening again to these rhythms and returning to more attentive ways of inhabiting the world may be one of the simplest forms of care for the Earth and for ourselves.”
Read our “Roots” issue in full
The new theme, born as usual from what the submitted works held in common, is “ROOTS.” Within its pages, we present the artworks, creativity, and inspiration of 60 visual artists and writers from 21 countries around the world. Their diverse voices come together around a shared exploration of the return to where one belongs, the invisible threads of tradition that shape identity, and the ongoing reconnection with nature, others, and oneself.
We’re a team of writers using our craft to spotlight art in its most honest form. RAWGUE. started as a bi-monthly editorial experiment where each issue’s theme is dictated by the submitted work, thus removing editorial bias from the equation and preserving a more raw approach. We focus on all forms of poetry: written, photographed, painted, drawn, and filmed.
