Greek Myths: Persephone

Persephone was Zus' daughter and was kidnapped to the underworld by hates. While she was there her mother looked for her on earth. She was finally found and Hates was forced to give her back. Before she was released she was tricked into eating a few pomegrante seeds. Since she ate them she was then required to go down to the underworld once every year. During that time winter covers the earth.
I had my freind Taylor dress up in a white robe because Persephone was always portrayed with a white robe in greek myths. She was known as the "White armed" so i had her wear white sleeves. The handcuffs symbolize her permanant hold on the underworld and the pomegranet obviously symbolizes the story line. The bricks in back are grungy looking to give it a dark feel and it looks like it is expanding to symbolize she is forever wrapped around in shadow of the underworld. All in all i like this photo but i should have done some dodging and burning to make it a little stronger.
