Ellas II: Narcisa
Portrait of Female Boredom
For the woman in the mirror, Narcisa.
This personal narrative tells the story of a woman who learns to look at herself. A woman who encounters herself in her own reflection and questions what it means to love herself when her desire is crossed by guilt.
Inspired by the myth of Narcissus, this collection begins with a hypothesis transformed into garments: had Narcissus been a woman, her desire would have been marked by guilt.
Through the flower — the narcissus — and the butterfly, symbols of reflection, infatuation and metamorphosis, the collection narrates the transformation of a woman in search of her own gaze.
Narcisa opens a silent conversation with her own reflection: what would you say to the woman in the mirror?
