"This work reinterprets the myth of Blodeuwedd, blending Welsh folklore with motifs from Pakistan's affidavit stamp paper to explore themes of transformation, identity, and power. The floral patterns, derived from symbols tied to colonial histories, weave a narrative that bridges mythology and the complexities of heritage. Through gilding, the piece emphasises Blodeuwedd's grandeur, reflecting her symbolic connection to creation and metamorphosis. By integrating these elements, the work subtly critiques historical impositions while celebrating the resilience and richness of cultural storytelling."
