Watercolor and pencil on illustration board,
10 x 8
2009

Model: :iconadharabatul:

In Greek mythology, Persephone was the goddess of the underwold and of the Spring growth. Daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest, she was abducted by Hades and taken to the land of the dead. By a determination of the Fates, she was forced to stay for two seasons each year after eating pomegranates seeds, thus becoming consort of Hades and queen of the underworld. The painting depicts her sorrow after having the seeds.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

Nice depiction of the Persephone myth, specially with the morbid imagery. :)

Why must we adjust ourselves in a corrupted society? Are we corrupting ourselves to make the society better? Ask yourself...
