Apotropaic | Medusa Block Print (Framed)
A symbol of protection, power, and reclaiming the gaze.
Apotropaic comes from the idea of warding off harm—of something that doesn’t just endure darkness, but turns it away entirely. In ancient mythology, Medusa was more than a monster… she became a symbol of protection, often used to guard and deflect negative energy.
This piece reclaims her image in that light.
Hand-carved and printed using a block printing process, each line was intentionally cut to create contrast, movement, and intensity within her expression. The process itself is raw and direct—every mark carved by hand, every print carrying slight variations that make it uniquely its own.
Framed and ready to display, this piece holds a different kind of presence than glass—grounded, bold, and unapologetic.
This piece is for the ones who have found strength in their story…
who no longer shrink themselves…
who understand that protection can also be power.
