“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.
