A female figure alternates with the very act of a childbirth depicting a circular narrative journey where the newborn comes and returns back to the womb. Proserpina draws its title from mythological greek character of Proserpina, wife of Hades. The work retraces the journey of the goddess who, according to the myth, was compelled to spend half year on the earth and half year in the underworld.
