At the time of COVID19
Cristina Calderara Jaime, 2020

9 canvases worked with acrylics, pigments, quartz sand, iron powder with rusty iron insert and written in copper wire, which arose from feelings and emotions at the time of covid19.

Evolving from Kore to Persephone (εξελίσσονται) (= evolve)

The triptych explores the cycle of life-death-rebirth, and can be read on an individual or collective level; cycles that are repeated in nature, in humankind, in civilizations, in the universe. I have adopted archetypal symbols, which are universally recognizable, in order to express:
• in the first canvas – Cherub – the fall, decadence, death, and whatever needs to be left behind;
• in the second canvas – Lucifer – the depression, feeling in Hades, in a cave, in a labyrinth, in a place of desperation and loneliness, alone with myself, a place where thoughts can be processed;
• in the third canvas – The Wait – time to create a new dimension, a new self, a new yet unknown way of being.
