This piece is my representation of spring and the bloom. The statue of Demeter at the centre of the piece is there to represent the renewal of nature and the birth of new life, as Demeter is the goddess of new life and the Earth’s fertility. Furthermore, her daughter Persephone is the embodiment of spring and encompasses it’s characteristics. I added vines and a myriad of flowers on and around the statue, and included a few animals representative of easter and spring like a rabbit and birds flying towards their nest full of eggs, cradeled in the arm of Demeter, and a few swarms of insects pollinating the flowers sprouting up from the ground. I also included flowers on the side with the colours of the Ukrainian flag to portray my beliefs of a peaceful and prosperous future for Ukraine, and my love for the Ukrainian public and admiration for their courage and bravery.
