These concepts are viewed through the lens of how they manifest in people, places and things, particularly at a time when feminine archetypes are reemerging and reshaping our understanding of identity and balance.<\/p>\n<p>The featured artists are Berglind \u00c1g\u00fastsd\u00f3ttir and Hrefna Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir, Darsha Hewitt and Svava Sk\u00falad\u00f3ttir, D\u00fdrfinna Benita Basalan and R\u00f3ska, Gunnhildur Hauksd\u00f3ttir and Gunn\u00fe\u00f3runn Sveinsd\u00f3ttir, Hildur \u00c1sa Henr\u00fdsd\u00f3ttir and K\u00edk\u00f3 Korrir\u00f3, Hulda Vilhj\u00e1lmsd\u00f3ttir and J\u00f3hannes S.
