Three Women is part of the âTransfigurationsâ series by internationally acclaimed video artist Bill Viola. Transfiguration is generally defined as âan exalting, glorifying, or spiritual change.â In this work, the mother and her daughters enact a transfiguration when they choose to pass through the threshold of water and briefly enter an illuminated realm. By exploring such universal human experiences as spirituality, birth, and death, Violaâs videos communicate to a wide audience, allowing viewers to engage with the work in their own personal ways.
