kind of a self critique… when even my art hates me.

That’s super cool! Congrats! Which mixed media did you use for this piece?

It is important to know meanings of symbols for sure, but meanings differ from groups, cultures, background knowledge and personal experiences.

We are talking about an ancient myth here, if I took an ancient myth to be the symbol of some movement I found it doesn’t invalidate all current and past meanings connected to it.

It’s kind of unfair to push the meaning it has for you and your group to others. I’m not sure if I’m being clear, but I hopenyou get my point. ;)

Medusa being the symbol for sexual assault is not unanimously known in the world, is extremely recent in history terms, and being taken as such a symbol doesn’t cancel all past symbology connected to her and her myth.

It’s actually controversial if she was raped or if she just seduced Poseidon, translations are tricky, and translating from an ancient greek is not an exact science. The ambiguity could be also proposital according to some scholars… but who knows? Maybe we’ll never know for sure, there’ll be theories and different versions. That’s why myths are powerful.

That said, I’m not acting with prejudice or discrimination against any group. I’ve written a bit more about in the other reply in this thread.

You are not alone! :) I thought was some kind of happy meal…

Everyone has their own lil’worlds, but some visits briefly, others stay longer and the lucky ones, oh!those never comes back... 😉

Strongly considering it but I’m afraid my art wouldn’t sell well though… too controversial and the world becames so “pure” recently.

Normal human is a lie…

PS: I didn’t get the “consume them” though 🙃

The beauty of free will.

She wakes up really early for power up with the best shrooms she can find. Nature is great! 🤪

Thanks! She’s under the influence for sure!

Of her friends I mean… 😝

Well, you clearly see the cat’s running the opposite direction, right? Definitely not a friend! Friends stick together.

Nope, this is Engineers’ point of view, while setting a sentry…😝

No contrived controversy this time 🤪
