Pasiphae

In the realm of Greek mythology, Pasiphae was a complex figure whose fate was intertwined with love, desire, and destiny. She was the wife of King Minos of Crete and the daughter of Helios, the Sun God, and the Oceanid nymph Perse. Her lineage connected her to both the divine and mortal worlds, setting the stage for a tale of unparalleled consequence.

Pasiphae's story takes a dramatic turn when Poseidon, the God of the Sea, influenced her heart. Her emotions spiraled into a passion she could not control, an infatuation that knew no bounds. It was during this time that Pasiphae conceived a plan born of both love and folly.

Desiring union with a sacred bull, Pasiphae devised an intricate contraption that allowed her to fulfill her forbidden desires. This act of transcendent passion led to the birth of a creature that would shape her legacy – the Minotaur. This half-human, half-bull being became the embodiment of her choices, destined to bring both tragedy and significance to her lineage.

The Minotaur, with its insatiable appetite for human flesh, forced King Minos to construct the labyrinth in which it was imprisoned. And so, Pasiphae's choices rippled through the years, casting a shadow over her family and the kingdom of Crete.

The story of Pasiphae is a reminder of the intricate web woven by love, desire, and destiny in the world of Greek mythology. Her actions serve as a testament to the far-reaching consequences of decisions made in the heat of passion. Through her legacy, she became forever tied to the creation of the Minotaur, a creature whose existence echoed the intricate nature of human emotions.

If you exhibit the artwork in a room, it must be protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

If you want to frame it, the materials must be acid free as well as the passepartout. If the frame is made of wood and is in direct contact with the photo, it must be made of natural wood and without varnish.

Adhesives must also be acid free. If not, any other adhesive could leave yellow marks and deteriorate the support.

The work should never be touched directly with the hands in order to avoid leaving traces of grease or moisture. You have to touch it with cotton gloves like the ones that we enclose inside the package.

Do not screw the photograph back on after it has been removed from the tube in case you have received it like that.

Store the work in a cool, dry place preferably at a room temperature between 10º and 30º with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

If you have acquired more than one photograph, they should never be touched between them since the surface is very sensitive. You should always put a tissue paper or, at least, another soft paper between the both of them.
