First of 2 (at least) paintings of Cassandra. In this one I have modernised her and shown her as young and idealistic. Like most prophets and visionaries she was ignored or dismissed as mad.
Cassandra is emblematic – she symbolises for me, that time in a woman’s life (usually when she’s older, but often when she becomes a mother) when suddenly she becomes ‘invisible’ – unheard and unrecognised.
