“Ze̶u̶s̶ – The Coming of New Peace” intertwines ancient mythology with modern symbols, creating a new narrative.
The piece draws inspiration from the ancient tale of abduction of Europa, a Phoenician princess deceived by Zeus.
Disguised as a magnificent White Bull, he lured her in, only to charge into the sea and spirit her away to Crete where his true intentions became clear. In this version, there is no need for deception. Power moves openly, leaving destruction in its wake.
Instead of a god in disguise, we see a force that no longer bothers with illusions.
Rolling forward on steel and fire, it crushes everything in its path. It does not seduce, it overtakes.
The letter “Z”, now a symbol of military terror, becomes the mark of this new Zeus.
He skates through the ruins, carried by machines of war, leaving devastation as its only offering.
By merging myth with modern warfare, this piece reflects on cycles of conquest and destruction.
History repeats, not as a mere echo, but as a force reshaping the world again and again.
