Inspired by the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, this piece explores themes of desire, transformation, power, and duality. In the myth, Zeus descends in the form of a swan to seduce Leda, queen of Sparta, resulting in the birth of Helen of Troy and the beginning of a lineage tied to beauty, violence, fate, and ruin.
This work reflects on the tension between divinity and mortality, intimacy and control, and the way mythology often disguises darker truths beneath beauty and symbolism. Echoing ancient interpretations of the story, the piece considers how desire, ego, and power can shape history.
