LOOKING FOR HADES
Archival inkjet print on Signa Smooth 300gsm Rag

"Looking for Hades takes inspiration from the legends where specific places on earth are said to be entrances to the underworld.
They go by the name 'Gates of hell' and can be found throughout many different cultures.
In this piece a group of people are searching for one of these entrances; more specifically the one leading to Hades,
the underworld kingdom where the dead are taken in Greek mythology."
If they are looking for Hades to try and bring someone back like in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice or just out of curiosity I leave open to interpretation."
