Elise Florentino

At the core of her practice lives Erisia: a wild, feminine alter ego inspired by Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Erisia is a reclamation of instinct, rebellion, and creative freedom. She is the part of Elise that refuses to shrink, choosing instead to move through the world with untamed honesty. Her spirit merges with the leopard: a creature both elegant and fierce, symbolizing power, danger, and a punk-like defiance. This fusion becomes an aesthetic and symbolic backbone for Elise’s visual language a personal mythology of wildness, vulnerability, and strength.
