About The Artwork
Just as Persephone was thought to be a daughter of Demeter, Romans made Proserpina a daughter of Demeter's Roman equivalent, Ceres. Like Persephone, Proserpina is associated with the underworld realm and its ruler; and along with her mother Ceres, with the springtime growth of crops and the cycle of life, death and rebirth or renewal. Her name is a Latinisation of "Persephone", perhaps influenced by the Latin proserpere ("to emerge, to creep forth"), with respect to the growing of grain. Her core myths – her forcible abduction by the god of the Underworld, her mother's search for her and her eventual but temporary restoration to the world above – are the subject of works in Roman and later art and literature. In particular, Proserpina's seizure by the god of the Underworld – usually described as the Rape of Proserpina, or of Persephone

Poland
I see fields in the fog, warm light revealing outline of someone’s face from deep darkness. I can smell woodland, trees and wet duff. I can feel pleasent warm sun rays on my skin shining through tree tops. I can hear rains drops dancing on roof slates. Space, freedom. Wedad is a Polish-Jordanian artist based in England.
