Key — what the composite took from each

The Composite Goddess

She is presented as one, singular, and old — a suppressed original being “recovered.” The plate shows the opposite: she is recent, and she is plural — a marketing composite stitched from ten distinct figures across four incompatible religions. Every thread is real; the woman they meet in is not.
