Medusa 

To construct a piece with simple planes and lines, my work for this constructivist avatar is the head of Medusa. It is designed to show the sharp eyes as the central focal point since the eyes are Medusa's essential and deadly weapons. A third eye was added at the back of her face, representing Medusa's extreme beauty that makes people not want to look away from her. Also, when wearing this piece as a pendant, this judgemental character is not only judging people by her front eyes but also judging the wearer with the eye at her back. This means that if you use a standard to judge others, the same standard will come back to judge you.

 

Medusa is still prevalent today as a symbol of the scare. People scare of normal animals like snakes, also women in power or beautiful women. Medusa turning people into stones is like how men freeze in front of beautiful women.
