When the legend emerges from the depths.
In Medusa and Her Sisters , Maguy Bourzeix revives the fascinating power of the Gorgons, mythical figures of ancient Greece, half-women, half-divinities, with bewitching beauty and a fatal gaze. Here, they are no longer monsters, but sovereign goddesses, half-emerging from the waters like sacred vestiges of a forgotten world.
The composition—split by the waterline—unveils two worlds: the visible and the invisible, grace and threat, land and sea. Their serpentine hair becomes crowns of seaweed and mystery, while their bodies, draped in floating fabrics, seem born from a liquid dream. The fish swirl like silent guardians around their aquatic royalty.
Maguy Bourzeix offers here a bold reinterpretation of the figure of Medusa, not as a monster, but as a symbol of feminine power, sisterhood, and transformation. A hypnotic work, on the border between myth and contemplation.
