ocean goddess
Odissea’s identity was born in 2019, inspired by greek mythology. If you are familiar with the story behind the brand - Odissea is named after The Odyssey, Homer’s poem - as he described life as “a voyage marked by changes of fortune”. At this time of my life I was beginning my own journey living abroad, persuing my dreams, transitioning into a more mature self and trying to understand my place on earth better - this phrase gave me a lot of meaning.
As I studied more about greek mythology, I found meanings that conveyed what my creations represent. For instance, Nekyia in ancient greek means “a rite by which ghosts are called up and questioned about the future." The pieces in this collection are one of a kind and unique, made with shells, pearls and semi precious stones which makes them an amulet to keep during your life’s journey.
Ocean Goddess is the newest collaboration of Odissea with photographer Christine Jiang. Alexandra portrays Venus; the goddess of love and beauty. Capturing the innocence and playfulness, these pictures represent our Nekyas collection pure essence - femininity, playfulness and sexiness.
With all the natural elements the pieces are made with, they blend in with the ocean and surroundings - making us travel to this moment of bliss.
The ever changing expression of our pieces represents change as a path for beauty.
Furthermore, it is important to remind ourselves that there’s a story behind us all.
