Drawing on the dreamlike atmospheres and unexpected spatial compositions of early twentieth-century Italian Metaphysical painting, Midday Muse reimagines Athena Lemnia, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, within a contemporary architectural setting.

Through algorithmic 3D reconstruction and CGI, the classical figure is fragmented and reassembled into an ambiguous sculptural presence. Recognisable features, including Athena's iconic helmet, are preserved, while her form is transformed through synthetic textures, digital distortions and shifts in scale.

The installation unfolds as an oversized architectural collage, where classical imagery and contemporary computational processes converge. Rather than presenting the sculpture as an isolated object, Midday Muse allows its fragments to inhabit the surrounding architecture, creating a dialogue between historical representation and the physical experience of space.
