Myth and fairytale have always felt less like stories to me and more like a language — a way of making sense of the things that resist ordinary explanation. This series is a lifelong obsession made visible. Some of the images draw from familiar narratives — Sleeping Beauty, ancient folklore, stories that have been told so many times they have become part of how we understand ourselves. Others come entirely from my own imagination, myths I invented because I needed them to exist. Some are set in ancient worlds, others in entirely contemporary ones. Some unfold across multiple images, others hold an entire world in a single frame. In all of them I am drawn to the threshold between the legible and the mysterious — where the story is clear enough to enter and open enough to get lost in.

What connects them all is a belief that myth is not the opposite of truth. It is another way of reaching it.
