Sisters of Fate

(2023 — 2025)

“Sisters of Fate” is a series of miniature figurines accompanied by original hand-embroidered poems. These monstrous and delicate figures re-interpret the tale of the Sisters of Fate of Greek mythology. The three sisters of the original myth represent the past, present, and future and together weave the fates of all humanity. The figures here use the materiality of their bodies to craft eternal cycles of life. Each claims a monumental fate that is sensual, dark, and rooted in the power of the feminine.

The grotesque vulnerability of birth, has a heart literally bursting forth from inside and is accompanied by a poem that imagines a revolution of tenderness. The “death figure” (The erotics of eternal torment) appears as a seductive mermaid deity, her story one of the queer erotics of depression. The final figure, The infernal hunger of existence, re-imagines a feminized Cerberus (guardian of hell) who rejoices in the act of eating — a metaphor for the present — and relishes in the complexity of human existence.

Colorful elements break through the marble-like whiteness of these miniature monuments, suggesting a dialogue between freedom and constraint. The embroidered poems invite a deeper relationship with this re-written mythology, in which these sisters are weaving fates not only for others, but for themselves.
