Pygmalion, a young artist desperate to make a mark on this world is visited one day by the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite and challenged to paint her to prove that there is beauty and depth to his paintings. What follows is a gruelling game of psychological torture, as Aphrodite pokes at all of Pygmalion’s insecurities. As Pygmalion begins to lose his sense of self, he begins to fall in love with his own portrait of Aphrodite and identity it as its own seperate being, one which he names Galatea.
