Medusa
(2015)
Giclée print, 60 x 85cm
Medusa is shown as a creature who strikes fear into evil, but her tale begins as a priestess of Athena. As such, she would have dedicated herself to learning and trusted that when the goddess of long-term plans transformed her into a weapon, there was a reason for this. After her decapitation by Perseus, she becomes a weapon of Athena’s vengeance against Poseidon’s champion and is taken into the heavens by Athena and lives on at her goddess’ chest.
