Circe, the Greek goddess reimagined as a modern Ukrainian woman, presides over her precarious sanctuary. Her traditional headdress, and the salted pork fat set on the table—a revered Ukrainian delicacy and a remnant of fatal hospitality—forge a link between myth and modern events. At her feet, the pigs lie piled together in an indistinct mass of flesh, devoid of any desire to destroy, like insidious invaders, breakers of domestic peace. A moody palette, in muted and threatening tones, envelops the scene in palpable tension, sharply contrasting with Circe’s body and dress, whose shimmering transparency evoke a lost innocence, a once-untouched purity. Here, feminine vulnerability transforms into subtle power: invaders who overstep the boundaries will pay the price in flesh.
