The Legend of Ayon: A Sculptural Monomyth
Author

Abstract
The Legend of Ayon is a sculptural representation of a hero's journey into a world of the unknown, then returning victorious after overcoming trials and tribulations. My research depicts my fascination with fantasies originating from ancient historical myths and combining them with modern mythology. I view the various forms of modern media, film being one example, as this era's mythologies. Ayon is a warrior pursuing a monster, who overcomes the trials of the wilderness and the unknown world and is guided towards a realization that community is stronger together than fractured. For me, these sculptural vessels, dragons, and objects have become a therapeutic process by using a variety of materials to fabricate a body of work that invokes a sense of permanence, structural integrity, and tranquility.
