Medusa has become a symbol of female empowerment because her story represents resilience, transformation, and defiance against male dominance. Originally depicted as a monstrous Gorgon, her myth has been reinterpreted as a tale of injustice—she was punished by Athena after being assaulted by Poseidon.
Medusa is in all of us. I’m sure we can all connect to her story of strength, turning her gaze into a metaphor for self-protection and resistance against patriarchal oppression.
She embodies the power of survival, the rejection of victimhood, and the ability to command fear and respect in a world that often seeks to silence women.
With the intention of reclaiming the Medusa story, the Sword of Perseus has been hand engraved on either shoulder. This time, Medusa is weaponised with the very blade that beheaded her.
