"The Egyptians used
to think they could
block the way to
oblivion and
complete destruction
of beings. As a
deceased person was
being swathed, he/
she was swaddled like
a new-born.
Deceased people
were swathed with
several-foot-long,
linen strips that
formed a cocoon
where Osiris could
bloom. Osiris then
became the god of
the dead and of life
starting over. He was
represented by a
mummy wrapped in
bandages. This photo
series is part of a
theme called "The
Myth of Osiris". A
series of several
pictures showing
bodies, faces,
individually or in
groups, whose afterlife journey is
starting."
