In the Psycheverse

Psyche treats the underworld as a metaphor for shadow work and psychological transformation rather than literal geography. He uses mythic descent narratives and poetic performances to frame how confronting darkness, facing repressed aspects of self, and embracing one's shadows lead to genuine empowerment and truth-telling. The underworld becomes a space where the viewer is invited to shed false identities and reclaim authentic power.
