THE GAZE // THE CURSE -
COLLECTOR'S EDITION

MARILYN × MEDUSA

"In this portrait, Marilyn Monroe becomes Medusa. The serpent-crowned guardian whose gaze could turn kings to stone. No longer the prey of the camera, she meets the viewer’s eyes without flinch or plea. This is the face of beauty weaponized: sacred, venomous, eternal. The serpents do not hiss, they crown. The curse is not her own, but the one cast by a world that demanded her light until it burned her alive.

THE GAZE // THE CURSE invites the viewer to sit in the serpent’s gaze without realizing it... until it’s too late. It is the altar for all who will never again be consumed without consequence." - IRIX

Materials & Longevity:
Printed on Chromaluxe gallery-grade aluminum, each piece is engineered for deep color saturation, archival permanence, and resilience. Chosen for its luminous surface and unparalleled durability, this medium is used in leading galleries for its ability to preserve vibrancy for generations. Resistant to fading, moisture, and environmental wear, each work is built to endure—an altar meant to outlast the noise of its age.

Each piece in Dead Gods Gallery is conceived not as a standalone work, but as part of a living cosmology—a cathedral in progress. Like chapels within a sacred architecture, each portrait contributes to the greater liturgy: the re-enthroning of figures sacrificed to the altars of culture, power, and history.
