Description

In the beginning was the void Famished, all-consuming Chaos Lightning tearing skies asunder She falls in syzygy with Erebos The dance of the beginning and the end The birth of Chaos... (Rocketgirl 2023) Inspired by ancient Greek literature: "At the beginning there was only Khaos (Chaos, the Chasm) [Air], Nyx (Night), dark Erebos (Darkness), and deep Tartaros (the Pit). Ge (Gaea, Earth), Aer (Air) [Aither] and Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven) had no existence. Firstly, black-winged Nyx (Night) laid a germless egg in the bosom of the infinite deeps of Erebos (Darkness), and from this, after the revolution of long ages, sprang the graceful Eros (Desire) with his glittering golden wings, swift as the whirlwinds of the tempest. He mated [or fertilised] in deep Tartaros (the Pit) with dark Khaos (Chaos, the Chasm) [Air], winged like himself, and thus hatched forth our race [the birds], which was the first to see the light." Aristophanes, Birds 685 ff (trans. O'Neill) (Greek comedy C5th to 4th B.C.) : Oil painting x ai x digital painting (1357 px by 1920px)
