The Find, 2025, Digital Photomontage, 16" H x 20" W, NO AI
In this digital photomontage, two women take shelter in an abandoned rock hut to investigate a mysterious treasure they’ve unearthed: an ancient armillary sphere. These seasoned adventurers have spent the last decade exploring forgotten places, sharing their discoveries through a travel blog and social media. Their latest journey began in an antique shop in Athens, where they stumbled upon an old map referencing a hidden cache on Mount Parnitha. Intrigued, they traced the coordinates to this desolate location.
Their research led them to the 1731 book The Description and Use of the Globes and the Orrery by Joseph Harris, that offered historical insight into celestial instruments like the one they found. Now, inside this crumbling hut, they examine the sphere to determine its origin—possibly as far back as the 3rd century BC. This image captures the tension between knowledge and mystery, past and present, and celebrates the spirit of female exploration and intellectual curiosity.
