Frau Troffau – Dance Plague of 1518
In this character design and illustration, Frau Troffau emerges as a haunting embodiment of the 1518 Dance Plague in Strasbourg. Inspired by the mayfly's brief life cycle, her character represents the fleeting nature of existence. Her delicate, ethereal form captures the beauty and horror of a life lived with intensity yet bound for inevitable, swift conclusion. Frau Troffau’s unceasing dance is both entrancing and tragic, a metaphor for lives caught in uncontrollable cycles, illustrating the delicate line between life and death. This project is still in progress.
