HOROSCOPE COLLECTION | ARIES
Presenting our next Horoscope Collection, ARIES. The first sign In the astrological cycle.
THE MOVEMENT OF THE HOROSCOPE COLLECTION IS ABOUT USING THE MODERN MEDIUM OF PHOTOGRAPHY TO TELL THE STORIES OF THE ORIGINAL MYTHOLOGIES. THE CONSTELLATIONS WERE STUDIED AND VIEWED AS MYTHOLOGICAL STORIES. DIFFERENT CULTURES, COUNTRIES, AND REGIONS HAD THEIR OWN DEPICTIONS AS WELL. GETTING TO LEARN ABOUT EACH ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RIVETING. WHILE EDUCATING MYSELF, I GOT TO LEARN HOW IN-DEPTH THESE ZODIACS REALLY ARE.
THE MOST PROMINENT DEPICTION OF ARIES HAS BEEN A CROUCHED, WINGLESS RAM WITH ITS HEAD TURNED TOWARDS TAURUS.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS IS THAT ARIES IS ARES. ALTHOUGH THE DEPICTIONS ARE BOTH COMING FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY, THEY’RE VERY DIFFERENT. THE GOLDEN FLEECE OF ARIES, AND THE GOD OF WAR ARES.
THE STORY BEHIND THE GOLDEN FLEECE…
The myth behind Aries is based on a golden ram of Greek mythology. Legend states that Aries, identified with a golden ram, rescued Phrixus and took him to Colchis where he sacrificed the ram to appease the Gods. Later, Phrixus, in the face of death was saved by a golden ram with wings which flew him to safety.
