Alecto

This is a detail from the final piece of my Furies series that I’ve been working on throughout this year. 

I must admit, interpreting emotions like pain, beauty, and the intense reactions we feel when betrayed has been a challenging process. However, in the end, the satisfaction of completing something that I find deeply enriching makes it all worthwhile. It was worth the journey!









Alecto

Alecto is one of the Furies in Greek mythology, known for her role as a relentless punisher of moral crimes, especially those related to anger and injustice. 

She is often depicted as pursuing wrongdoers with a whip, her anger never ceasing. Alecto's primary purpose is to avenge offenses such as personal insults, familial betrayal, and crimes against the gods. Her presence in myth highlights the inescapable nature of divine retribution. As one of the three Furies, she embodies the unyielding force of vengeance that seeks to restore balance through punishment.
