Sappho and her loves, Limited Edition 1 of 10 Photograph

Saphho and her loves 70x70cm(27.5x27.5 inch) "Sappho was an Archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung while accompanied by a lyre. In ancient times, Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess". Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost, and what is extant has mostly survived in fragmentary form; two notable exceptions are the "Ode to Aphrodite" and the Tithonus poem. As well as lyric poetry, ancient commentators claimed that Sappho wrote elegiac and iambic poetry. Three epigrams attributed to Sappho are extant, but these actually Helenistic imitations of Sappho's style." "Sappho was a prolific poet, probably composing around 10,000 lines. Her poetry was well-known and greatly admired through much of antiquity, and she was among the canon of nine lyric poets most highly esteemed by scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria. Sappho's poetry is still considered extraordinary and her works continue to influence other writers. Beyond her poetry, she is well known as a symbol of love and desire between women, with the English words sapphic and lesbian being derived from her own name and the name of her home island respectively. Whilst her importance as a poet is confirmed from the earliest times, all interpretations of her work have been coloured and influenced by discussions of her sexuality." One of the her famous big head statue is in the Archeology Museum in Istanbul. This artwork was created from the manipulation of Sappho’s photograph which was taken by me at this museum. According to a legend, he committed suicide in a young age, when a young sailor named Phaon refused herself. According to other historians, she died deadly. The raindrops in my artwork represent the tears of the platonic loves that she wrote poems but could not come together.
