This painting reimagines Persephone at the threshold of innocence and desire, surrounded by symbols of fertility and vitality—a parrot, grains, verdant growth, and deer. Zeus appears as a serpent entwining her in an act of domination. The work confronts the ways patriarchal power infiltrates and corrupts pleasure, reclaiming myth as a site of contemporary critique and resistance.

*The piece is made with iridescent ink pigments and glitter paint that changes with the different light of day.
