Samson and Delilah, a Hand Illustrated Ceramic Plate, offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale of Samson and Delilah, challenging the traditional narrative that casts Delilah as the villain. The artwork reimagines Delilah not as the betrayer but as a victim trapped and constrained by Samson's strength, symbolised by his long hair. Here, Delilah is depicted as tangled and bound within the locks of Samson, portraying her need to escape the overpowering hold of Samson. This interpretation invites viewers to consider the story from a different angle, where Delilah's actions might be seen as an attempt to liberate herself from a confining situation. The plate is handmade and hand-illustrated, adding a personal and intricate touch to this re-envisioned story.
