The ship of Theseus – recycling of materials

27 February 2025

I went over/under the end of the beam that supports the roof of a mountain cabin and I added two supports into which I drove a series of poles to simulate oars. I made the sail with a cork surface, light but hard as was its meaning. Black because the myth tells that Theseus forgot to replace it with the white one that would have communicated the success of the enterprise to his father Aegeus, king of Athens. Out of desperation Aegeus committed suicide by jumping into the sea which has since taken his name.
