In Athens, Greece, two mediums simultaneously channel and build altars to their respective gods in adjacent rooms. Ariadne weaves a web (ARIADNE, 2025); Dionysus paints the Tree of Life (The Madness of Dionysus, 2025).

On Naxos, Greece—the Island of Dionysus, where these two gods met and fell in love—two mediums visit the Sanctuary of Dionysus at Yria, where these gods were worshipped and wed. Time collapses; we are there then and here now.
