Inspired by Athena, ancient goddess of wisdom & victory
In mythology, Athena is a guiding figure, known for her strategic mind and protective nature.

This depiction celebrates her as an emblem of female empowerment, capturing her essence through the symbolism of an owl against the moon. The owl, sacred to Athena, embodies her insightful and nurturing nature, while the moon is a symbol of the feminine divine.

Technique
Athena's Victory In Gold was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, an illustration of a barn owl and scientific sketches of the moon.
