This triptych 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 triptych 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)
