bellakotak:Amphitrite and her power…“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),It’s always our self we find in the sea.”― e.e. cummings ✩ Photography by Bella KotakSome time ago while doing some research I found myself drawn to the story of Amphitrite, a goddess of the sea who ran away from Poseidon’s advances to keep her freedom. She escaped as far as she possibly could to where she was free to just be (later, Poseidon’s pet dolphin found her and his sweet words eventually convinced her to come back and become Poseidon’s wife).I wanted to create something that celebrated her brave decision to say no to a king and put herself first while protecting and embracing her own freedom to love and live.We are not here to conform nor cater to anyone else’s ideals of us and it is only through questioning every narrative that’s ever fed to us that we can learn about who we really are ✩ Shot with @phaseonephoto✩ Lighting: Mix of natural & @profotoglobal A1✩ Skin work @solsticeretouch -- source link
