Joan of Arc – Faith & Fight is a fine art series that uses the historical figure of Joan of Arc as a metaphor for an internal struggle rather than a literal retelling. The work was created as a response to a personal confrontation with illness, translating an invisible battle into a visual language of faith, endurance, and inner resolve.
Set in an underwater environment, the series places the body in a state of suspension, where movement is slowed and resistance becomes tangible. Water functions as both a physical and psychological space, amplifying vulnerability while demanding control, breath, and presence. Through reflection, restrained gestures, and recurring symbolic elements, the figure of Joan appears not as a warrior in action, but as a person facing doubt, isolation, and the necessity to continue.
The images focus on moments of stillness rather than triumph. Faith is portrayed not as certainty, but as something fragile and persistent — a quiet force that allows the body to remain upright within pressure. Rather than offering resolution, the series lingers in the space between fear and courage, surrender and strength, revealing how inner battles are often fought in silence.
