The Goddess Series explores the relationship between gender and nature by portraying spirits based on the four elements—water, air, earth, and fire. Each sculpture reflects a commentary on the balance between masculine and feminine energies, envisioning a more peaceful and nurturing approach to leadership and our planet. As I’ve said, ‘We would have a more peaceful stance toward our planet if we let the feminine, nurturant part within us guide us, whether we’re women or men.

​As Richard Speer describes in From the Heart: Sculpture by Martin Eichinger, the works ‘explicitly link [Eichinger’s] feminist sympathies to environmental concerns.’

 

The book delves into these ideas and the creative philosophy behind them.
