Seadusa

$4,000.00

Seadusa merges my love of mythology with my passion for portraying powerful female figures, offering a bold reinterpretation of Medusa’s story.

In Greek mythology, Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden, her golden wavy hair considered her most striking feature. Enchanted by her beauty, Poseidon violated her in Athena’s temple. In a cruel twist, Athena punished Medusa—transforming her into a gorgon with serpentine locks and a gaze that turned any who met it into stone, condemning her to eternal isolation.

In Seadusa, I reclaim Medusa’s narrative, reshaping her as a sovereign force of the sea. Her hair, now flowing tentacle-like rather than serpent-like, is crowned with aquatic motifs. Her face shifts between the beautiful maiden she once was and the enigmatic being she has become, an evolution rather than a curse. Her gaze, rather than petrifying, compels the viewer to pause—to truly see her.

Encircling her are jellyfish-like forms, both protectors and symbols of her own transformation. Fittingly, the word Medusa not only means ‘guardian’ but also describes a sea creature with tentacle-like appendages—proof that mythology and nature echo one another in unexpected, serendipitous ways.

Acrylic, Oil, Ink, Collage

35" X 49" Canvas (stretched, mounted and framed) - Frame is included in this piece
