Pop Mythology examines how contemporary media and consumer culture generate new symbolic systems that function as modern mythologies. Drawing connections between historical archetypes and present-day imagery, the work explores how identity, belief, and value are shaped through repetition, branding, and mass communication. By collapsing distinctions between the sacred and the commercial, the exhibition suggests that cultural storytelling continues to evolve, embedding itself within the visual language of everyday life.
