Photographer Harley Weir has teamed up with fashion designer Dilara Findikoglu for a new project that showcases the power, freedom, and refusal of women through the lens of witchcraft. This project draws inspiration from Romania's folk magic and mythology traditions and aims to challenge the historical perception of witches as symbols of fear and evil.
The publication, titled WITCH, explores how women have been persecuted, marginalized, and executed for not fitting in or conforming to societal norms. The images capture women reconnecting with their bodies, spirituality, and nature, highlighting their defiance and knowledge. By combining traditional dress and couture, the project celebrates the beauty of often overlooked wisdom and questions the boundaries between the rational and the unseen.
The collaboration took place in eight cities and villages across Romania, allowing Weir and Findikoglu to witness firsthand the ancient knowledge and traditions that still resonate today. The result is a mesmerizing set of photographs that evoke the powerful spirit of all women, showcasing the evolution of witchcraft and womanhood in modern times. Published by IDEA, WITCH is available to order now in a limited edition of 500 copies.
