The Birth of Venus

A photographic interpretation of Botticellis The Birth of Venus with one big difference:

We changed the roles of the painting. On the original Zephir (the wind) holds his wife Chloris in his arms and blows Venus to the shores. But the background story is, that he had actually raped her. I am tired of seeing all these rapists glorified in art. How often do I have to look at a swan (Zeus) humping a beautiful woman? My life purpose is to amplify love and to inspire with beauty, I want to paint the most beautiful alternatives of how we can live and collaborate as human beings, I want to inspire to reach higher.

So Ciao Zephir. It’s time to rewrite the story.
