De-romanticizing Beauty

Cassandra's prophecy

The Cassandra's Prophecy painting, often depicting the tragic figure from Greek mythology, captures the torment of Cassandra, cursed to foresee the future but never be believed. in this work, her anguished expression and tensed posture symbolize the frustration of knowledge ignored and warnings dismissed. This can be read as metaphor for women's struggle with silenced voices: despite insights, wisdom or warnings, women historically and even today are often disbelieved marginalized or dismissed when they speak out. The painting embodies the natural weights of unheard, reflecting the societal structures that limits women's freedom of speech and agency, forcing them into a form of invincible suffering akin to Cassandra's eternal curse.
