Kátharsis. The process of releasing strong emotions through a particular activity or experience, such as art, in a way that helps to understand those emotions.

Inspired by the female stereotypes of the Brothers Grimm horror fairy tales, later adapted by Disney industry, the photographs show a cathartic process in which the maiden is not rescued and has to find a way to purify herself and eliminate the past memories that torment her, in order to face the difficult reality. Through a ritual dance form, the heroine of this story is able to live with her inner animal. She does not fight her own demons, but accepts them as part of her reality and existence. 

After giving up all the prejudices that have been instilled in her, she finds that inner peace and emotional balance that will allow her to finally defend and enforce herself against external agents. A  self-knowledge process and an understanding of the world she has lived.
