**Aphros & Ruin** – Silk Card Art Print
Inspired by Greek mythology and the concept of the monstrous feminine, *Aphros & Ruin* reimagines the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who is said to have emerged from the sea foam (*aphros*) formed around the severed genitals of Uranus, cast into the ocean by his son Cronus. This piece delves into the violent, chaotic origins of creation and femininity, exploring the tension between beauty and the grotesque, seduction and danger.
The central figure rises from the depths, both radiant and fearsome, her body entwined with undulating marine forms—part siren, part sea-born deity. Translucent textures, organic elements, and visceral reds contrast against soft aquatic hues, embodying the fluid and fearsome forces of transformation. Like the myth itself, the piece suggests that beauty is not born from purity, but from rupture, power, and the shifting tides of creation.
