Bastet’s Whisper

This work is an attempt to summon the presence of Bastet, the goddess who embodies both protection and sensuality, into the modern age. The golden chains, amulets, and armor-like claws signify both blessing and intimidation. The feline silhouette and amber gaze echo the oracles whispered in the cities of sand. Her eyes choose the viewer—inviting with sweetness, yet striking when boundaries are crossed. Within this quiet whisper dwell both the tenderness that protects and the force that severs.
