Gaia
The project is based on a thorough research of the most interesting Greek myths (“Pandora’s Box”, “Pegasus”, “Apple of Discord”, “Polyphemus”, “Trick at Mecone” etc.) and an in-depth analysis of the main symbols and the visual key elements I extracted from the legends.
As most of the Greek tales are written in the form of theatre plays, I considered that the most suitable outcome for translating them into visual representations is through scenography and studio installations.
As far as the aesthetic is concerned, I aimed to achieve a futuristic strange look, blending pastel colours which attract the viewer with obscure and unsettling elements such as meat, plastic, and transparent glass, all brought together by appropriate lighting and uncommon perspectives.
