Heart of Winter

Thanks to
and for the lovely stock photos I used in this manipulation.

This was actually inspired by one of my favorite parts of greek mythology the story of winter.

Demeter’s tragic story is her search for Persephone. Persephone was Demeter’s(The harvest goddess) only daughter; Persephone was abducted by Hades and later returned to earth with the condition that she spends four months of each year with Hades. In these months Demeter misses her daughter so much that she withdraws her gifts from the earth, and winter comes. But when her daughter returns, Demeter is so happy that she restores all her gifts and spring starts.

When I saw Jomina's stock photo of the girl with her head resting against the tree this story just came rushing back through my memory and I wanted to make something with it. I hope I got across what I had hoped to..
