Perséfone is a haunting exploration of myth and shadow, where the face of a woman emerges from

darkness, partially obscured as though retreating into the underworld. Her expression is solemn, her

features softened by the obscurity surrounding her, and a sliver of light cuts through, symbolising

the thin veil between life and death, innocence and wisdom. The muted tones and shadows evoke an

ethereal, almost otherworldly presence, echoing Persephone’s timeless role as the queen of the

underworld and the symbol of rebirth.

This artwork delves into themes of transformation, descent, and resilience. The artist captures

Persephone’s journey, embodying her as both a captive of fate and a powerful figure who transcends

it. Perséfone invites viewers to confront their own depths, to find strength in the darkness, and to

embrace the cycles of loss and renewal. This is not merely a portrayal of a goddess, but an

invitation to honour the enduring spirit that rises, season after season, from even the deepest

shadows.
