Ariadna's Thread 2021
“Ariadna’s Thread” (El hilo de Ariadna) is a project in process that talks about the supports that hold us throughout life and help us to move forward. The project is structured by the Greek mythological figure of Ariadna, spinning the photographs from the spindle that she gave to Theseus so as not to get lost in the labyrinth of Crete. Taking advantage of the fireproof capacity of myths to update themselves, in this project, Ariadna is the ageless woman, recovered to speak metaphorically of vital stages, supports, transformation and rebirth through the archetypes of the labyrinth, the thread, the dream and the sea.
