The Broken Hearted Goddess

Aphrodite is surrounded by dead and wilting flowers, the dried-up offerings of worship. Much time has passed since the last offering and there is no one to maintain the beautiful portrait.

In love with being loved, her heart is broken by abandonment and has corrupted over time. Tainted and toxic she performs her sadness with her heart in her hands at an attempt to emotionally manipulate her viewers into loving her again. Gaze averted she contemplates her circumstances, her swans at her side in comfort and memory of her gifts for music and grace.
