These three collages were my proposal for FanzineFem, an initiative that brings together artistic pieces under the concept 'Empowered women in mythology'.
Artemis, untamed goddess of hunting, nature, the moon and many other attributes, was my inspiration for these three collages and the one who lead me to her companions Athena and Hestia. The three of them gave up having any relationship with men and thus, they were freed from the grip of Zeus and the model life of the female figure that consisted exclusively of marriage and family.
Self-sufficient and independent, I couldn't think of any better goddesses to represent female empowerment within a mythology where women rarely win.
