This is a paper collage portrait of the greek god of the woodland. He was a satyr (half man, half goat) who played reed pipes made in honor of his love, a nymph who turned herself into the reeds to escape him.

This is lovely. I love the autumn color scheme and expressiveness of his face. A very interesting take on Pan.

Pan's pipes (which is where the name comes from) were actually MADE from the reeds that the nymph changed into- the story is that the pipe's mournful tunes are the nymph's soul crying....
