Mythology of a Dress

Mythology of a Dress is about the healing journey of a soul, through four stages and four classical myths. It all begins with the monster Aracne, who was punished by the gods for her arrogance. Knowledge, represented by the Siren, is the key to move forward. Art and beauty turn us into humans, and maybe that’s why Pigmalione fell in love with his own work of art. Finally, the Phoenix dances in the garden of Eden, where the fusion with nature leads the soul towards freedom. You are now who you are.
