Undinius the last water spirit is an artistic cycle portraying the speculative mythology of a prophesied water spirit named Undinius, sent to bring retribution against humanity for desecrating water sources. Through a series of interconnected artworks – including a costume, a series of ceramics and a tapestry –the cycle highlights the sanctity of water and the devastating and emotional impacts of its exploitation. This narrative intertwines fantasy with urgent environmental and social justice themes, urging a reconnection with and reverence for the vital interdependence between humans and water
