Collage of an abstract representation of the greek myth behind the sun flower.
A girl was inlove with the sun god, and all day she would gaze at his
beauty as he did the day-ly run through the skies. He would not notice
her ever and so the girl became sad and wanted to do nothing else but
to gaze at him, to see if one day he would turn his eyes to hers. The
gods to pitty on her and turned her into a sunflower, so she could
follow him trhough all eternity, this is why the sunflower follows the
sun, and hangs its head at night time(that was the short version). I
like this myth, so for my art project(got to many of those don't I?) I
did a collage about it, I used eyes to make the center of the flower
to represent the girl's eyes, and the petals are cut-out peices of
hair.
