Kiki Smith — Wolf Girl, from the Blue Prints series
Kiki Smith

Wolf Girl, from the Blue Prints series

A young girl emerges in ghostly blue tones, her nude figure intertwined with the wild, evoking themes of transformation and the primal connection between human and animal. Smith's masterful use of etching and aquatint creates a delicate yet haunting quality, with the texture of the Hahnemühle paper adding depth to the ethereal composition. Drawing on folklore and myth, *Wolf Girl* reflects Smith's enduring fascination with the body, nature, and the untamed forces that exist at the boundary between civilization and the wild.
