TRANSFORMS
Greek mythology was a way of explaining the world, and the imagery described in its tales inspired the art of storytelling. Poring over Ovid's "Metamorphoses," I became fascinated with the recurring theme of transformation and the darkness it entails. I have created concept art based on six of Ovid's tragic tales, illustrating the characters in the key stage of metamorphoses.
This body of work is centered around the tales of The Gorgons, Daphne, Persephone, Icarus, Arachne, and Eurydice. All the characters have been transformed from their human form into something twisted and sinister. I fancied Ovid's "Metamorphoses" to be a screenplay, challenging myself to visually set the stage for a critical scene in each tale.
