Ophelia
My work is a contemporary reimagining of the character of Ophelia, where a man takes the place of the tragic heroine. What if Ophelia were a man? How would our perception of tragedy, vulnerability, and the inner world of the character change? This work doesn't simply swap the gender of the character; it asks the question: what does it mean to be Ophelia in today's world? A man can also be a symbol of fragility and loneliness, facing the same inevitable fate as his classical predecessor. Human emotions are universal.
