Daniel Gonzalez's photo series he combines nudes of women with landscape photography to show the connection between women in the earth. The photos show real bodies of women intertwined with nature and each other. In the photos the women use the elements to paint symbols on themselves, and interact with each other in a way that looks like they are performing a type of ritual. Gonzalez depicts the women as a powerful but nurturing force for the nature around them. These photos don't show the female body in a sexual way, but rather a powerful one. When I look at these photos I don't necessarily see the women as being naked because they look completely natural, free and comfortable with themselves. I am able to view the image as a composition and appreciate the message behind it and how women, even in their most vulnerable state, are strong. I think the photographer is trying to give off the message that all women can be mother nature if they let themselves.
