"I based this piece on the ancient Roman statue known as Sleeping Hermaphroditus, who is the offspring of Hermes and Aphrodite, and where the term hermaphrodite originally derives from. The original statue is thought to have been carved in the second century AD, and many copies have been rediscovered over hundreds of years."
"The piece is meant to evoke a sense of loneliness that many queer people feel. The foliage assets are from Quixel Megascans but I created the statue, pots, pilgrim and moss clumps."
"I wanted to create a fantastical portrayal of a pilgrim who has just found a copy of the statue abandoned deep in a forest."
