Greek Mythology - The Judgment of Paris(Limited Edition 1 of 10) Photograph

Goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, competing amongst themselves to be chosen as fairest and receive the golden apple from the hands of Paris. Goddess Aphrodite is holding the golden apple awarded to her. The guider and leader of the event, god Hermes is depicted with his golden caduceus. The white dove symbolizes Aphrodite, the peacock sacred to Hera is accompanying her, and Athena, goddess of Wisdom, is depicted with the aegis featuring the head of a Gorgon and her helmet. As an artist influenced by each event taking a place in her life and around her on a global and human scale, I have created this series inspired by stories of the Greek mythology. By taking pastoral landscapes filled with architectural remnants of glorious ancient empires and contrasting them with tied up animals representing the mighty gods in all their glory, these scenes represent the changes between the ancient world and the reality we live in nowadays, in which the mighty nature is being trampled by technology and progress, threatening the existence of our beautiful planet and the legacy we leave for future generations.
