"Many animal metaphors, use animals to think with. Every culture has accumulated beliefs around different animals, with resemblances crossing cultures and times. Most animal metaphors of men are based on size, strength and habitat of the animal (wilderness). Women, by contrast, are perceived as evil and/or compared to domesticated animals such as dogs, cats, snakes and vixen. The choice of such names shows the expectations and beliefs society holds about males and females. I'm using my female gaze to bring the empowered woman to the spotlight – the Queen bee, the dominant female bonobo, the matriarch elephant and the meerkat. This is the main idea of the 'Wild Woman' piece." - Yonat Vaks

This piece is part of the "Female Filmmakers - Female Gaze - Collective Collection" brought to life by film director and feminist Josephine Landertinger Forero. Josephine invited female artists from around the world to create a piece that shows their interpretation of what "female gaze" means to them or honor women working in the film industry. The female artists were free to choose which option to pick.
