Moirai

I have always been fascinated by the Moirai, the ancient sisters of fate. While their depictions vary across eras—from Byzantine to Art Nouveau—this series draws inspiration from the haunting, otherworldly style of Hieronymus Bosch. I’ve re-imagined the ethereal atmosphere near the Styx River, where the Moirai weave the threads of destiny, deciding whether the souls of the dead journey to the underworld or ascend to heaven. The series is intricately hand-drawn digitally, featuring grotesque, nightmare-like environments that capture both mystery and eeriness.

For the typography, I sought to complement this atmosphere by refining the texture with Adobe Firefly, transforming my hand-drawn sketches into an organic, tactile design that highlights the theme.

With its intricate details and vivid storytelling, this artwork holds immense potential for creative commercial products. I’ve seen how museums and galleries effectively leverage themed exhibitions, using typography and collateral—such as posters, labels, leaflets, and merchandise—to elevate the experience, boosting both recognition and revenue.

Keeping this in mind, I’ve designed a mockup to bring this vision to life. I’m excited about the possibility of incorporating this artwork into a future show that reimagines Greek mythology, as well as into clothing and accessories when I launch my own apparel line. This will allow me to bring a piece of this haunting, otherworldly realm into wearable artform.
