NATASHA PHIPPS
2023
“Siren Song” uses the mythological creature the Siren as a metaphorical image of women,
how beauty is above all else. The ideas of heroin roles are echoed throughout this piece,
showing how fantasy can sometimes mirror reality. With the sole purpose of the Siren to
seduce using her appearance, their successes encapsulate the power of beauty.
The tales of Siren’s have been told and retold since 750BCE, begging the question, how is
this a tale we have fed into and believed for all these years?
