Expelled

Denebola confronts us with a basic human polarity. One that is deeply relevant today. The need to be part of the establishment, the organised systems, the protective cultural and social boundaries we are immersed into, and the urge to get out of these same spheres as they corrupt, abuse, colonise and oppress us. Denebola has the capacity of detachment, of seeing from a distance, and choosing not to be part. Denebola inhabits the lands of the margins, the abandoned fi elds, the cosmic territories that hold danger, but also true authenticity. The anguish of not being part is her motor — her heartbeat.

You see rebellion in her gaze. She is the Sphinx-lioness.

Expelled exposes the threat, the hybrid nature, the psychological tension that disarms and builds at the same time. Denebola lives a life in exile and from that stubborn integrity fl ourishes.
