Abstract

My project is a diptych containing of a 50x35 cm and a 24x18 cm work, made of acrylics, oil pastels and acrylic markers on canvases. In my work, I reflected on the concept of sisterhood, as portrayed in Sophocles’ (441 BC) tragedy Antigone, between Antigone and Ismene. Essentially, the relationship of Antigone and Ismene poses an excellent example of the complexity of sisterly connection, which also interrelates with the notions of motherhood and womanhood. Therefore, I aimed at portraying the intensity of this family dynamic that is represented in Antigone, by employing visual arts practices.
