Medea Meet Madness
you are not your worst actions.
but you are your
worst enemy.
reimagine.
Let’s revisit Medea, shift our perspective. She is known as only a heartless monster, who murders her children, and gets away with it. She flees, but she is not without remorse or empathy or love. She was betrayed and abandoned, she took drastic measures. But she will be living with guilt and in pain the rest of her life. Punishing herself for it.

repent.
Medea is a mighty catalyst who was beaten down, beat others, and now beats herself. She is trapped, forced to confront her actions every day. She is shattered, vulnerable and on display. She seeks solace and healing, but she is so powerfully broken that no end is in sight.
