Elfie often draw en paint intuitively.
No preconceived plan that gives her direction, because that limits her creativity. She close her eyes and her thoughts fall completely silent.
In a meditative state she let charcoal or graphite slide over her sheet. It resonates with the deepest being in herself.
Then she open her eyes and look at what she see.
Hidden secrets are revealed.

At the moment she is immersing herself in the "male and female energy of man".
"When both are in balance, we can establish ourselves in the world in a powerful way. But often they are out of balance. In my case they are. The male energy in me is sometimes destructive. It is sometimes negatively charged. He wants to control and dominate "the woman" in me. As human beings, we can grow all our lives.
