YOO are looking into a mirror.
The Minotaur and Theseus are both in us
and it's quite a maze inside there!
To find his way out of the maze Theseus carried a string
to mark the route and so find his way back to his own Eden.
In this story Theseus comes to understand that facing
the fears we all hold within us makes a more complete self.
It's OK to have a shadow.
The light and the dark are opposite halves of the same whole.
"Know thyself"*
...and you've found the source of your own happiness.
That's a Sun Tree to the left of artwork.
Put simply this artwork is a contemporary retelling
of the old adage "HOME SWEET HOME". NW☺︎
