Wild and exciting, the Horned God Pan induces both fear and awe. At times, he is dangerous, stirring panic and pandemonium. Often depicted as a satyr, with the lower body and legs of a goat, horns, and a human torso and head. He is human, non-human, and divine. Originally worshipped by shepherds in the caves and forests of ancient Arcadia. Sara Hannant’s dreamlike images show his statue in gardens throughout England. She investigates Pan as a personification of nature in our climate emergency, rousing us to recognise our place within the living world.
