This picture represent a modern view of the myth of Narcissus & Echo from the Metamorphoses of Ovid.
( I can't write you a fast resume cause the story is so much interresting that I could loose some important parts,
you can go here to know more about ).
I made a modern view of it, adapting some points working more the psychology of characters :
- Narcissus is in my work a traveller, he observe with passion his reflect on the glass acting as a mirror. A beautifull boy ,mysterious and deep.
- Echo is one of those thousand girls with magazine/headphones going to her work(student?) from everyday that is suddently interrested by him, but didn't know how to approach.
So, 2 world in confrontation, this kind of situation is may be not as caricatural and dramatic as the original myth but I would just put the same perfume in it and keep the relation to our century. Myth are still alive for me, and are played every days.
