The Day the Sun Cried: Apollo and Hyacinth

This ceramic series retells the Greek myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus across five relief panels. Painted vases depict key moments: meeting, jealousy, tragedy, death and transformation. As the story unfolds, the vessels fracture, their shards arranged like petals with ceramic hyacinths emerging from within. Drawing on classical Greek pottery traditions, the work honours love, beauty and grief, showing how loss can fracture yet still bloom into enduring remembrance.
