“Hidden Archetypes” is a one-woman, self-funded visual poem — written, directed, scored, and performed by the filmmaker.
It traces a woman’s journey from a childhood of pain through an external search for love, where she adopts the powerful masks of the Rebel and the Queen. Realizing the answer lies within, she embarks on an inward pilgrimage to heal her wounded Child, become her own nurturing Mother, and ultimately reconcile the sacred balance between her sensual Anima and protective Animus.
In this final integration, she finds wholeness — ending the search by coming home to herself.
