Free the naids
This project is after the awful removal of Waterhouse’s Pre-Raphaelite painting in the famous Manchester Art Gallery censorship episode (when Museum’s curator felt too “embarrassed” to show Waterhouse’s painting in the gallery), “Free the Naiads!” project addresses the inner and spontaneous female sensuality and reflects on the futility of hiding or caging it.
In this vision, I see the plastic of the covering and the smoke of dust and abandonment transforming into liquid water, in which the Naiads can swim and swirl again.
The project “Free the Naiads!” daydreamingly depicts the liberation of the seven naiads originally portrayed in Waterhouse’s painting, and is composed of several distinct chapters.
