ELECTRA : Au Fil de la Parole (Threads of Thoughts) Series

“I shall be eternal like an undying star” … Obelisk inscription written by Queen Hatshepsut.
Women as stars, beacons of light guiding the way towards freedom…. conquer prejudice… helping people to find their way home, to their true self.

Electra was princess of Argos: The map at the bottom right is the constellation “Argo Navis”, no longer seen in the sky but was used to navigate the waters during the slave trade.

I investigate the notion of migration (most of the time forced on the person as in The Middle Passage with
slavery, or in modern times, in order to get a “better life”). It also describes the power and strength of women fighting to be the pillar of their families.
