The Fall of Phaethon: an ancient and contemporary allegory
Mixed media on board (100 cm by 100 cm)
“Fall of Phaethon” continues collaborative work exploring ideas of individual, cultural and spiritual transformation. We engage with contemporary issues such as climate change through the lens of antiquity and myth. The Greek myth of Phaethon has relevance today when viewed as a cautionary tale concerning human interference with nature.
