Odysseus

This finely detailed etching presents the figure of Odysseus — the legendary hero returning from his epic journey. His body becomes a map of his travels, inscribed with scenes of monsters, ships, gods, and myths. His closed posture and introspective gaze suggest he still hears the echoes of the past, carrying the memory of each trial within him.

The background is densely filled with ornaments, symbols, and waves, evoking the vastness of the sea and the passage of time. This is more than a depiction of an ancient hero — it is a collective portrait of a man shaped by his journey, both inward and outward. Each line reads like a verse from an epic carved by time.
