Dionysian Votive, 2023

According to Aeschylus, the mirror reflects the form and the wine the mind. In the Orphic rendition of this narrative, Dionysus Zagreas symbolizes the divine essence transitioning into the human realm through the agency of the Titans who consume him. Consequently, at the level of symbolism, the human owed to win the Titanic element and reconnect with Deus-Dionysos, that already exists inside him as the divine element of Dionysos Zagreas.
