Personal Mythology - The Labyrinth

This series uses an artistic language of archetypes to express my connection 
to the myth of Ariadne and Theseus in the Labyrinth.

 In Jung's terms, 'Archetype' is defined as the first original model of which
​all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are merely derivative, copied, patterned, or emulated.
