The labyrinth is the symbol of a path to follow, a journey but, above all, a change.
The labyrinth is where one gets lost in physical terms only then to rediscover oneself.
Just as Ulysees gets lost among the waves to discover himself at the deepest level beyond a boundless loss of his consciousness, through myriad adventures.
Carl Gustav Jung said people seeing a labyrinth in a dream are symbolically seeking their way through the twists and turns of life to find themselves.
This complex, disorienting architecture conceals for the person entering it, the danger of remaining trapped there but, at the same time, the challenge of finding a clever way out.
Entering a labyrinth is a challenge with oneself, a journey of change that one experiences in isolation without being conditioned by the outside world.
In Michael Ende’s «Neverending Story», on which the artist has drawn liberally in her works, the main character does just this: he loses himself in fantastic, new worlds, moves, knows and is involved in thrilling adventures and returns from his travels completely different.
The labyrinth is a place unknown where the desire is to escape, it is like a bad habit or bad behaviour at an unconscious level. It is a jumble, a tangled thread that needs to be untangled, a problem that must be solved intelligently that will change into a solution: a path on which one begins feeling lost and finishes by acquiring awareness and clarity. A voyage one begins in darkness and ends in bright light just like Dedalus who, once out of the labyrinth flies towards the sun.
