This circular collage centers on Medusa, immediately pulling the work out of the domestic space. Medusa—often interpreted as a figure of both danger and victimhood—sits at the center, suggesting themes of power and transformation. It becomes a broader meditation on how bodies are framed, feared, consumed, and controlled across time.
There’s also a sense of fragmentation and inversion throughout: figures appear upside down, images collide without hierarchy, and textures shift rapidly. This destabilization pushes the viewer to move around the piece rather than settle into it.
