No!

Amelia, modeling a most crucial goddess headdress. I loved the fact that after I put this on her head, she proceeded to wear it for the rest of the day, channeling her goddess powers all the while, of course.

This was a piece I created after my mythology teacher senior year allowed us to do whatever we wanted for our final project. The persisting imagery used to represent the goddess throughout mythology were my inspirations -- the phases of the moon, feathers (birds were often connected to females), and, snakes -- I don't know how I feel about the snake connection but I guess we aren't all sugar and spice, and everything nice...


It became quite a striking prop for Nick Mendise, a photographer buddy who also went to SCAD. It's always fun to pose, especially when you know you're gonna get a crazy cool picture of yourself in return!
