Circe’s graphite-rendered visage carries the weight of unspoken turmoil, mirrored in the girl’s eyes. Circe, in Greek mythology, embodies complexity—both an enchantress and a tragic figure. The drawing's symbolism evokes the mythological character's essence—her transformative powers, inner turmoil, and the duality of wielding magic that both captivates and imprisons. This piece is titled ‘Circe’ to transcend a mere portrayal of a girl; to become an allegory for the trials of transformation and the enduring strength found within vulnerability.
