Carl Gustav Jung believed that there was a feminine beginning, or female part of the psychic setup, in subconsciousness of every man. He gave it the name "Anima", that is "soul" in translation from Greece. The anima is a personification of all feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses, such as haziness and vagueness of feelings and moods. In the process of working on creative projects, I tend to resort to a kind of meditation and try to establish a connection with my anima, which is depicted as a nude female figure. The red circle on the works is a reference to the planet Mars.
