The picture depicts my mood for my inspiration i.e. EROS- The Greek God Of Love.
The picture above is a photoshop developed embroidery print that I created for the back of jacket for my garment.
CONCEPT
The Inspiration behind this project was Eros- The Greek God Of Love, E
ros is the son of Aphrodite and Ares, whose mischievous meddling in the affairs of gods and mortals caused bonds of love to form and drama to unfold. In early Greek poetry and art, Eros was depicted as an adult, handsome male carrying a lyre or a bow and arrow. He embodied love, athleticism, sexual power and art. Eros was often regarded as the protector of homosexual love between men.
Eros is depicted as a blindfolded male carrying a bow and arrow with the power to make any human fall in love with the first person they would see.
The Bow and Arrows of Eros:
The golden bow and silver arrows were aimed at the heart of a mortal, usually to make them fall in love
The tips of his arrows were either made of gold or lead
Golden arrows instilled love, infatuation, desire and lust
Lead arrows instilled the opposite of love, a hatred of passion and desire.
He was also responsible for the meet of the solar system and the earth.
