Inspiration-
Demeter and Persephone are central figures in Greek mythology, representing the deep bond between mother and daughter, the rhythms of nature, and the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Demeter, goddess of the harvest and fertility, brings abundance to the earth—until her daughter Persephone is taken to the underworld by Hades. In her grief, Demeter lets the world grow barren, giving rise to winter. When Persephone returns each spring, life blooms again.

This myth speaks to themes of motherhood, loss, renewal, and the autonomy of women. Persephone is not just a captive queen—she becomes a powerful figure in her own right, straddling two worlds. Together, Demeter and Persephone embody the fierce strength of feminine connection, the nurturing force of nature, and the quiet power of transformation.
