Domestic Mythologies is a visual narrative situated at the intersection of Greek mythology, ancient history, and contemporary life. Drawing upon the myth of Demeter and Persephone, the project reflects on the place of women within social and cultural institutions, particularly marriage, and the ways these structures shape identity across generations. Through the figure of my daughter inhabiting Persephone, and through gestures drawn from both domestic and mythic worlds, the work explores transitions from innocence to experience, autonomy to entrapment, presence to absence.

Rooted in themes of femininity, domesticity, loss, and displacement, Domestic Mythologies considers how women’s lives are cyclically defined by inherited stories, rites of passage, and patriarchal frameworks. The project merges lived experience with myth to question what is chosen, what is imposed, and how memory and imagination become tools for re-writing our stories.
