Tantalus Myth



The myth of Tantalus is about a man who was banished to Hades and he had to live the rest of his life in water up to his chin. There was fruits above him on branches as well and when ever he tried to drink the water or eat the fruits they would recede away from him. For this photo, I had Vanessa behind a wire fence to show her trapped and not being able to get out to reach her desires. I blurred the background and burned the edges to bring more focus on Vanessa. I also played with the contrast, hue, and saturation.
