New York-based artist and performer Helena Calmfors explores power, desire, identity and the enduring mythology of the dominant woman. Drawing from her own connection to the archetype, her work both embraces and quietly dismantles traditional notions of dominance, weaving softness into spaces often defined by control. Flowers emerge alongside symbols of authority, creating a visual language where vulnerability and power coexist.
At the heart of Calmfors' practice is a feminist commitment to bodily autonomy, self-possession and the reclamation of identity through consensual power exchange. Across performance, watercolour painting, digital imagery and Polaroid photography, she constructs intimate worlds that blur the boundaries between ritual, fantasy and self-expression. Her work invites viewers into carefully crafted encounters where tenderness becomes a form of strength and power is reimagined as something both deeply personal and transformative.
