Eurydice & Orpheus
Read the myth here.
Contemporary playwright Sarah Ruhl created a Eurydice who called out Orpheus' name during their ascent from Hell, intentionally causing him to look at her. She wanted to stay dead, perhaps because it was the natural order of things, perhaps because she wanted to be with her dead father, or, as my Illustration teacher proposed, perhaps she wanted to raise Hell as a single lady.
In my diptych illustration I imply that they're holding hands, but not who initiated the hand-holding.
Kbot.
Kyra is painted/drawn in the adapted style of El Anatsui's textiles, in what I like to think is her natural environment.
