This series, Narcissus, is a set of 3 canvases, each depicting a different viewpoint of Narciso, an ancient sculpture restored by Valerio Cioli during the Italian Renaissance. 

Today, the prevalence of self-curated social media feeds can feel new and unnatural. However, the myth of Narcissus dates back to classical antiquity, revealing connections between our behaviours and ancient ones.

Narcissus is a contemporary reinterpretation of a historical work, inviting viewers to contemplate a timeless theme and find parallels to their own lived experiences.
