Persephone
The series explores the character of the Greek goddess Persephone - a young woman torn between two worlds. On the surface she is feminine, naïve, but underneath she is bitter and sassy - an overall contradiction. Through the use of two opposing sets, we explore the hyper feminine and otherworldly aspects of her character, and her constant shifting unrest between her two worlds.
