Honorable Mention
Circe
DESCRIPTION
Circe, or Kirke, the ancient Greek sorceress reinterpreted based on Homer's Odyssey. She drives sailors crazy with her song and beauty.I worked with a lot of symbolism:
Empty bottle: Message in a bottle, symbol of a message, of a journey that is being started
In this case it was my journey, because it was the first picture after my “apprenticeship” and the beginning of my work. In the image content, the empty bottle stands as a symbol for misfortune, loss, longing
o Circe drives the sailors to ruin, to misery
Horn (neku)
Has several meanings, but they are similar
1. Derivation from the Hebrew, ram's horn. Here as a symbol for the shofar, the trumpet
o Conquest of Jericho, collapse of the walls, stands for the sinking of the ships, destruction
o Also of the memory of the divine, the primal force (here for the stormy sea); sacrifice
Images in the background
3 women
- Stand here for the 3 goddesses of fate, the Moiren, the Trias
Cup / goblet on the back right on the table
Holy Grail
- water of life, holiness of woman, childbirth, etc. Has many meanings ...
o Here in Circe he stands for the power of women as actual creation and mother above everything, as the origin of life, ... because she gives
o Also a little for the Templars, because I have a soft spot for this epoch
