(Archive) We Never Change

Greek mythology

‘We Never Change’ is a reappraisal of Greek mythology. In a series of five painted, ceramic vases, Nonna Hoogland links Greek myths and mythological themes to the present. The vases are based on Ancient Greek pottery and the renaissance served as an inspiration for the paintings. By mirroring the portrayal of profoundly human themes in Greek mythology to our modern-day society, Nonna explores the shifting norms and values concerning these themes and concludes that human nature doesn’t change.
