Phoenix

2020

Vee Speers' most recent work Phoenix is a symbol of the feminine spirit of determination and renewal. In this series about women inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, the flames and ashes disappear – emerging is the emboldening force of liberation. There’s a kinetic, galvanizing energy here as they are on the threshold of new beginnings– elegantly revealing themselves, and sensing their hard-won independence, their mystique.  At once powerful and vulnerable, Speers’ portraits are timeless symbols of transformation to the renaissance of a new identity.
