This photo essay narrates the tragic tale of Narcissus from Book III of Ovid's Metamorphoses, written around 8 AD. Capturing the essence of toxic self-obsession and infatuation, the images depict Narcissus ensnared by the allure of his own reflection. Each frame portrays his descent into captivation with his perceived perfection, gradually losing touch with the surrounding world. The series delivers a dark and hopeless message, featuring black and white portraits alongside still life images of frozen or submerged flowers, symbolising the narcissus flower, or daffodil.
