King of Hearts

King of Hearts
Bent to behold his haunted flame,
The king sees love and self the same.
A heart’s red suit, a mirrored snare—
Narcissus caught in pixel glare.

This digital work blends mythic allegory with pop iconography, reimagining Narcissus as the “King of Hearts” through a bold, graphic lens. Utilizing high-contrast photomontage, patterned overlays, and playing card motifs, it channels elements of street art, surrealism, and visual satire. The technique disrupts traditional portraiture, creating a symbolic fusion of ego, desire, and identity within a digitally constructed mythscape.
