“Medusa is my muse, her characteristic that resonates with me most is the power of intimidation. She doesn’t have to do anything and men feat her. Her gaze can literally kill. She knows this, she thrives off of this and yet in my illustration she chooses to hide this power. Does she do this becacuse she’s afraid of hurting people? No. I think she does it because she doesn’t want to hurt some men’s fragile ego. She knows what she’s capable of and so does everyone else. That’s something to strive for. Confidence and intimidation.”
