NYX

NYX is an odyssey into the depths of night, consciousness, and imagination, where poetry and visual art converge to create an otherworldly experience. Drawing inspiration from the mythical figure of Nyx, the ancient goddess of night, and symbolized by a loyal canine presence, the work navigates liminal spaces of vulnerability, fear, and ecstatic beauty. From intimate reflections to mythical visions of cosmic beasts and ritual, NYX immerses readers in a nocturnal landscape where the surreal and the visceral coexist, and imagination reigns supreme.
