Since prehistoric times labyrinths have been powerful symbols in the human psyche. When I see the image of a labyrinth something resonates within me. Labyrinths are the paths we walk through our lives; they are a descent (or an ascent) into something that is hidden within us; they are fragile constructions which may unravel at any moment and plunge us into the unknown.
The labyrinth is a visual representation of the search for identity. Its ultimate meaning is determined by you, the viewer.
Created for the group show, 'The Path less Deconstructed'.
