Ovid's Fasti

An ethereal journey where ancient Roman myths blend with contemporary beauty. Guided by Ovid’s epic poetry, the project breathes life into forgotten legends, weaving a spellbinding tapestry of awe and enchantment. Through meticulously crafted images, ancient wisdom dances with modern vision, creating a surreal, liminal world where Mother Nature, gods, and goddesses coexist with human narratives, casting a timeless and mystical aura over this magical odyssey.

As a photographic artist, I employ the medium of photography to interweave the threads of antiquity and modernity. Through meticulous hand-manipulation of photographic prints and the fusion of mythical narratives, I embark on imaginative, non-linear storytelling that transcends the constraints of time. The resulting images are imbued with an aura of intimacy and mystery, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationships between humankind, the natural world, and the fluidity of time.
