This etching explores legends of the sea, with a special focus on Celtic myths from northern Spain, Ireland, and the British Isles. Through these stories, Maite Cascón reimagines mythological figures, challenging the gender roles traditionally related to them. At its heart, the piece reflects on family bonds, separation, and longing, drawing inspiration drawing from a northern Spanish folktale and the artist’s personal experience of living abroad.
