Forgotten Goddesses

Forgotten Goddess is an ongoing series that examines feminine archetypes as sites of memory, grief, and cyclical transformation. Drawing from ancient goddess traditions, reliquary forms, and the visual language of archaeology, the work repositions the goddess not as an object of worship, but as a vessel—one that holds labor, loss, sustenance, and endurance.

Materials and imagery drawn from the natural world—wheat, water, stone, bone, and earth—function as both symbol and structure, referencing agricultural cycles, burial practices, and the persistence of care across generations. The figures exist in a liminal space between body and landscape, suggesting containment rather than display, and presence rather than power.

Through layered processes in watercolor, ink, and relief printmaking, the series treats each piece as a quiet shrine or offering. Forgotten Goddess invites viewers to consider what cultural knowledge is preserved, what is eroded over time, and how acts of remembrance can be embodied through material and form.
