Moiras Series 1.
The Moiras were the weaver goddesses of the fate of mortals in Greek mythology embodied by three sisters. clotho spun the strand of the newborn’s life; láquesis turned the spindle, tying and winding the threads and distributing the fate; finally atropos, the oldest of the three, cut with her scissors the thread determining the end of life and the beginning of the next.
moiras, series i are columns of light woven with an irregular warp of noble threads: living matter that is transformed through contact with the environment reminding us of the evanescence of things

The foundation of each Moira is made with a wick of the previous one, drawing an interconnection between the whole series. Its weave without weft and without closure generates a vertical movement that connects the above with the below,—the celestial with the terrestrial. Its volumes create spaces within space, as dialogues between the inside and the outside —the personal and the universal.

The Moiras are both witnesses and bearers of time; they invite us to touch them, to move across them, to inhabit them; it is through that interaction that they are finally completed. So they breathe, they swell, they curl, they tangle, they fray, they degrade; and as they get older, they become more beautiful and even more alive.
