Projects: I'm current turning my focus towards fantasy, the supernatural, and more images with aircraft.

I wanted to capture the terrible tragedy that happened to Medusa when Athena discovered her affair with Poseidon. The myth says Athena took away her beauty and gave her hair of serpents. I chose a different interpretation: Medusa became so beautiful it was almost impossible not to look at her. The onlooker was still turned to stone of course, but she would forever loose a connection that makes us human.
