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.
