In Jungian psychology, the Anima is the unconscious or repressed part of the male personality that manifests itself as as feminine, conversely, the Animus is the unconscious or the repressed part of the female personality that manifests itself as masculine. Jung postulated that the anima and animus are inherited archetypes, i.e. every man has inherently an unconscious feminine and every woman has an unconscious masculine. I seek to understand and question how much of our personality is a result of transmitted culture versus our own authentic self? The work, 'Myth/ Mutation : Anima vs Animus' is an artistic response to this question
