There exists a divine duality which dictates that for one thing to exist, so must its opposite, providing balance. The Minotaur is traditionally depicted as an angry warrior with the body of a brutish man and the head of a bull. This series explores the theme of duality through creation of a female Minotaur. This feminine representation displays grace, fragility, wonder, and strength without violence. She is depicted in four iconic life phases, each catalogued by the time of day. She is born in the first hour and dies at midnight. The viewer finds much to relate to in these works of a half-human character, provoking the question: what indeed does it mean to be human?

Minotaur 23h00 is about to step off this plane. She is bent, her body is well-used, but she remains unbroken. As her physical power has declined, her spiritual power has grown, making her bold and unafraid. She belongs to herself, and that knowing will carry her through her last grand adventure.
