From the deepest parts of the Oceans, it can come to life as Kraken that dwells off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes nearby sailors through the Great Cthulhu octopi has evoked fear in us. It also symbolises the depths of our psyche, in all its ambivalence, suffering and seeming chaos. Creatures like that have always fueled my imagination, the dark and at first dangerous is what most people fear. Putting it in juxtaposition to the soft saint like a young woman gives me the chance to get to know the fear. To embrace the shadow and work with the deep corners of my psyche that otherwise, I didn’t have access to. So I invite you on this journey with me. It might not be comfortable, but adventures rarely are. Are you ready?
