A Siren conjuring up her own reality, alone, surrounded by depth and the unknowable, dominating the space she occupies.

Goddess (or triple goddess) tattoo on her right forearm because she is.

God tattoo on her left forearm because she is.

Deadly Nightshade tattooed on her left bicep; a fitting symbol of looks can be deceiving.

The inverted triangle is a symbol of water which is ever changing, full of mystery, a giver of life and death.

Death Head moth symbolizes death and rebirth, both by the skull and by it being an insect that is reborn as something completely different in its lifetime. Embracing transformation.

Forked tongue historically symbolizes deceit and in a sense it does here too, in that this person is not who they seem to be or who they are expected to be. They seem soft and in possible danger of the ocean or the eel but in reality, they harness all the power.

She straddles the known and unknown, inventing her own reality as she goes.

The serpent is an extension of her reality, she created it, she controls it.

Serpents serve as surrogates for the tangible, covered in delicate hair; slithering softness, tethering the mystical narrative to things that are material, reminders that even imagined things stir real, physical sensations. Galaxies spread around, beneath and inside of the subjects, these women both create and are the universe that they want to move through.

The subjects in this series are surrounded by an atmosphere of mysticism, spirituality, and the ethereal. There’s an occult aesthetic pushing viewers to see beyond the confines of corporeality and deal intimately with the complex enigma of these otherworldly personas, women as gods. Through a supernatural lens, the figures commingle artifacts of religious phenomena, ensconced in transcendental surroundings, creating a space between reality and magic.

I hope that while visiting these pieces, you reimagine your perception of reality; that you immerse yourself in the unknown, the unknowable and the unexpected.
