When we saw Daphne Alexiadou’s stunning images of Women projected onto the historic Citadel of Erbil, we knew we were in the presence of something divine. This ancient fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Cradle of Civilization, is believed to rest atop the ruins of the temple of Inana, better known throughout time as Ishtar, Aphrodite & Venus. Goddess of Love & War, and all Creation.

PolyOne’s announcement exhibition in March, 2022, took place a few weeks after the first wave of Russian troops flowed into Ukraine. With the ebbing pandemic and the scars of war with ISIS in Iraq we decided to celebrate our collective human story by casting light on the only place where all our stories connect. Daphne’s colorful, regal women shined like jewels in the walls crowning the temples of the Goddess. At that moment the SEED of Natural Woman was planted - an NFT collection to elevate, support & empower women to shape the narrative. In collaboration with a true Greek Goddess and our creator Daphne Alexiadou, Natural Woman is PolyOne’s first Global Impact Collection.

Having witnessed first-hand SEED Kurdistan’s remarkable work in refugee camps during the war with ISIS, we decided this drop should benefit women displaced by war in Ukraine & Iraq. Every NFT purchased in this drop will help a woman displaced and send a message that we resist the folly of mankind’s wars. The only war we must fight is the war on Climate Change. We call on Women everywhere to stand with us, Our hope is to grow our tiny SEED of Knowledge into a mighty Tree of Wisdom, with branches stretched to the four corners of our globe, and with roots deep in the soil of our human story of Genesis.

We protect each other, and our planet. We fight our battles with wisdom and love. and empower women to lead the way. This is Natural Woman's pledge at the temple of the the Goddess to the SEEDs of generations yet to come, for those Children of Eden, Mother Nature’s Garden, Earth.

Natural Woman. Create to Elevate!
