Inspired by greek mythology about Circe, a daughter of the sun god Helios, and a gifted sorceress who could turn anyone into animals.

Encased within the confines of her palace, surrounded by the untamed beauty of nature on her secluded island Aeaea, Circe's story is one of profound isolation intertwined with immense power.

Surrounded by creatures once human, her companions speak to the complex maze of emotions stemming from isolation, power, and a deep, unspoken bond with the natural world. This narrative not only explores Circe's dominion over her transfigured court but also mirrors the contemporary dialogue on humanity's delicate and often tumultuous relationship with nature. Through this piece, inviting to reflect on our own interactions with the natural world, the animals with whom we share our planet, and the transformative power of empathy and understanding.
