The Handless Maiden, to be released by Interactions, offers a poetic and philosophical critique of the ideology driving AI and technological futurism. Drawing on myth, spirituality, and feminist insight, she positions the Handless Maiden as a symbol of what humanity risks losing in its race toward posthuman transformation. For Irina, transhumanism is not just a technological vision – it’s a denial of nature, the feminine, and the soul. Her work challenges the seductive promises of immortality and machine-merging, arguing that these dreams mask a deeper devaluation of human consciousness and embodiment. Through her unique blend of academic rigour and artistic voice, Irina calls for a conscious reaffirmation of our humanity before it is overwritten by the mechanistic ideals of a technocratic elite.
Who was Mary Magdalene and why has her voice been silenced? She beckons to us through the shrouds of history, a woman of such spiritual stature that she became the first to open our consciousness to the risen Christ. She brings a vision of a Christianity in which masculine and feminine meet as intimate and equal partners. A vision never more needed than today.
Irina Kuzminsky’s thought-provoking introduction to this remarkable woman (to be released by Awen) precedes a verse narrative, interposed with biblical and gnostic quotations, retelling the Christian story from Mary’s spiritual perspective. All is crafted to bring us closer to this woman seen by her contemporaries as an embodiment of Sophia – the archetype of feminine wisdom – and as Jesus’ true companion and partner in his work.

My life has been a journey into the Feminine as has my art. In this age of simulation the raw authenticity of our voices seek to speak directly to human hearts and human souls. And if that makes us artists stand outside our time, both ancient and belonging to the future, then so be it. I have found that the woman’s journey through life, the “Heroine’s Journey”, is not for the faint-hearted. It always involves shedding and descent, a burning vulnerability to Being, a surrender to deeper directives. My art and my research have over the years taken me further into that journey. I hope that my work might invite you to undertake your own journey into the deep Feminine ground of being.
