This conceptual rendering, titled Ashes of the Underworld, reimagines the mythic aftermath of The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. Created in Twinmotion, the image places Penelope among a crumbled landscape of fallen statues, fractured architecture, and scorched earth—an underworld stripped of pageantry and bound by silence.

The composition draws on themes of grief, injustice, and historical memory. Figures lie buried in the soil, evoking the twelve hanged maids—symbols of voices lost to myth. Pillars stand broken and smoldering, their symmetry hinting at a forgotten trial. Penelope, seated and alone, becomes both witness and survivor in a world that has already passed judgment.

This piece is not a production rendering but a standalone meditation. It blends scenic design with conceptual art, asking what remains when the performance is over and only echoes are left behind.
