Hermes Reimagined

A God historically portrayed as male - as a female figure, the piece invites a radical reconsideration of how power, agility and intellect have long been coded as masculine traits. Here, the messenger is reborn, not as a contradiction , but as a continuation of divine strength through a different form.

The work is constructed entirely by hand, using intricate macramé knotting to form a corset with sweeping, wing-like extensions. Each knot acts as both structure and symbol - holding tension, direction and story. The painstaking process speak to the physical labor often overlooked in both craft and femininity, reclaiming these as sites of endurance and skill.

Hermes Reimagined asks: What if the God's weren't always portrayed as we believed? What if mythology bent with time, allowing us to see ourselves reflected in its shapes?

This piece doesn't just depict a female Hermes - it opens a space where gender is unbound and strength belongs to no single form.
