The Wild Woman archetype is often associated with creativity, sensuality, spontaneity, courage, and a deep connection to nature. She is a powerful, untamed, and unapologetic force, embodying the wildness and freedom many women feel have been lost in modern society. Paired with the bright, vibrant Scottish Thistle, the energy of untamed, untouched is brought to the forefront. Radiating bravery, courage, and endurance, the Wild Woman sits among the thistle, mirroring her freedom to the viewer.
