Inspired by my time reading the novel, Circe, by Madeline Miller, I pictured the island of Aiaia, where she was exiled to by her father, Helios, the Sun God, and Zeus. The wild terrain she explored and made her home over centuries, surrounded by unforgiving seas filled with monsters and magic, invaded by cruel gods and men, became a powerful representation of strength and determination.
