"Mythical Reflections” in modern times is an innovative research that aims to explore and depict the essence of today's society and its individuals through the lens of timeless mythological characters. The series of works seek to draw parallels between ancient mythologies and contemporary culture, using iconic mythological figures as a means to reflect upon and comment on various aspects of modern life. The primary objective of the artwork is to create a series of thought-provoking images that blend the realms of mythology and contemporary reality. By juxtaposing mythical characters with modern individuals, the project intends to shed light on universal human experiences, societal issues, and the evolving nature of human behaviour.
