This tryptic loosely follows the story of Brunhilde  the greatest of all Valkyries “she caught and held the Nordic  imaginations for centuries . Her literary and iconographic development traces more than a thousand years of social and religious upheavals that changed ideologies about womanhood”

There are many stories about Brunhilde the strongest of the Valkyries , this Trypyic follows her fall from grace when she disobeys Odin her father’s orders , Odin’s punishment is to stab her with a thorn that induces an enchanted sleep and to surround her with a ring of magical fire. She becomes an fallen celestial women , no longer able to fly ,  her divinity and power gone , doomed to love any man who could brave the fire to awaken her . Brunhilde once woken  “understands her situation as a human women – that she is a commodity of exchange between man” (Serinity Young Women who Fly)
