"Salty Goddesses" is a series of linocut prints that explores the divine in humans and the human in goddesses. The title plays on the double meaning of the word “salty” — evoking both the sea and ancient Greek mythology, as well as its more modern connotation of sharpness, moodiness, or defiance.
In everyday imagination, goddesses are often seen as flawless, idealized beings. Yet classical myths tell a different story: mythological goddesses are complex, passionate, and sometimes even flawed. Their divine nature does not exclude desire, rage, jealousy, or pride — instead, it embraces the full spectrum of being.
Through this project, I reflect on the contradictions within us — how imperfection does not tarnish, but rather enriches, our essence. "Salty Goddesses" celebrates the multifaceted nature of femininity, where strength coexists with vulnerability, and sacredness lives alongside the earthly.
