Theme

My work is inspired by the greek myth “the sisters of fate.” I have tried to bring to life each sister by reimagining them as if they were in a high fashion photoshoot. The sisters of fate play an important role in greek mythology, nothing will be born, created or dead without the fates influence and knowledge. They are highest entities and even spin the fates of the gods. Each sister has a specific role when it comes to all forms of life; you have Clotho the youngest who spins the thread that allows humans and gods alike to draw their first breath. You then have Lachesis the middle sister who draws out the thread and allots your destiny, she sets your path out for you and once your path is spun your destiny is sealed. Finally you have Atropos who is the oldest, she is the cutter of the thread of life. Once she cuts the thread with her scissors your life with be over and your soul will depart. I have tried to re-create the essence and power that these sisters hold  through a series of costumes and photos.
