In this 12th solo show of Kyriaki the artist is inspired by current times. The artist places a young girl and a ball of thread, as protagonists in her series of short narratives.
In this work, the symbolism of the thread as a ” thread of life” is present. Life, expectations, future, all twisted together into a small thread at the feet of the little girl.
With a clear reference to the adventurous contemporary times, the thread refers also to the myth of Ariadne. Will the girl manage to follow the thread out of the labyrinth, just like another Theseus?
And which of all, is this salutary thread that will ensure her freedom ?
