The Odyssey

Myth, Memory, and the Wine-Dark Sea

The Odyssey reimagined through celestial cartography, illuminated ornament, and mythic atmosphere. This collection approaches its characters and encounters as symbolic forces: wisdom, temptation, longing, survival, transformation, memory, and return.

The Odyssey explores the tension between wandering and belonging, knowledge and danger, forgetting and remembrance. It is ultimately a meditation on endurance across distance, time, and the unknowable forces that shape the journey home. (edited)
