Hathor

The piece was inspired by the Egyptian goddess Hathor. The image of a woman who is half-nude and holding a skull of a cow with large horns is a powerful visual representation of the goddess.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Hathor was the goddess of love, beauty, joy, and fertility. She was often depicted as a cow, with large horns that symbolized her power and strength. The skull of the cow in my work represents the goddess’s association with death and rebirth, as well as her role as a protector of the dead.

The piece captures the essence of the Egyptian goddess Hathor and pays homage to her powerful and complex symbolism.
