Original artwork description
Based in Botticelli's "Birth of Venus"
The goddess of love, Venus, is a major figure in our contemporary word, from pop culture to an icon for feminism.
Venus, or the Greek equivalent Aphrodite, is the goddess of love. She possess exceptional characteristics of sex
and beauty, and is known to be the most enticing goddess of them all. in modern times, seeing an ancient goddess like Venus embrace her sexuality and femininity despite doing some 'inglorious things', is slightly honorable although it may also be reprehensible. Women have been shamed throughout all of history whenever displaying their sexuality overtly, and although this is a stigma that we as a society are trying to unlearn, Venus can be interpreted as the first figure to challenge those unsafe ideologies.
