Haiek Danak Sorginak (All Of Them Witches) is a photographic reconstruction of the witch-hunts in the Basque Country based on the imagery that women accused of witchcraft described to the inquisitors when they were forced to confess under torture.
This project was born from a personal need to demystify the figure of the witch and solve the misunderstanding that the excess of fantasy and popular culture has imposed on these women. I intend to eliminate the ambiguity that surrounds this topic and visually portray this persecution, detaching myself from the patriarchal inheritance that has been, until now, the one who have told this story. These years of terror and propaganda sowed the seed of a deep psychological alignment of men regarding women that is still in order today. In a moment in which women are fighting for their rights I consider it vital to share this part of our history to reflect on our past and elevate womankind.
