BURNOUT, BIANCA / MA / SS17
The collection Burnout, Bianca is inspired by Phyllis, a mythological figure that p.e. Ovid wrote about in his Heroides. The Thracian princess kills herself in desperation as she is alledgedly waiting in vain for her beloved Demophoon. After her death, she morphs into an aphyllous almond tree. When Demophoon returns, he can find nothing but the bare tree and, in his distress, he hugs it – in that moment, the tree leafs out.
