This painting is part of the series "Recreations of Myth and Spirit," a series that seeks to recreate figures of mythological and religious origin as modern people. In creating each painting the objective is to match each model to different figures based on a moment of perceived similarity, while also deliberately mismatching the models in other aspects of their visual characteristics, such as their perceived racial identity, or biological sex. Gods may or may not be, but regardless, god-likeness is within everyone.
