Rhea, the daughter of Gaia and Uranus, was a Greek Titan and the mother of the Olympians. Through her cunning, she helped her Olympian offspring overthrow Cronus and establish a new cosmic order. This artwork reflects her cosmic prowess and the steely determination of women through history — rising above the repression they've experienced to bring new world orders into being. Each more equitable and just than the last...

So, then, Rhea is a liberator, a world creator. Embodying an unyielding desire to reshape the universe, akin to the fearless women who fought for suffrage and bodily autonomy — inch by inch, mile by mile, ruling by ruling. Yet like the witches of lore, Rhea wields her power with equal parts grace and defiance. And we find her here, basking in her own electrified glory — questioning the nature of heroism as her prowess reminds us all of the distance between us.
