This photo represents how Persephone had to stay in the underworld for a season each year. I blurred the whole picture and then erased the back of her, her arm, the rope and the door nob so that they would be the only things in focus. I desaturated the door to represent how dead the underworld is and gave her a lot of saturation along with the light coming from the door because she will always be a part of the earth where she belongs. The light shining through the door shows the vibrant colors of the earth. It is trying to poor out and seep through the door while she is reaching to open it but the rope is keeping her from it. The shadows represent Hades and how he captured her. They are encompassing her and they are reaching for the door as if to keep it shut and not allow her to go back to earth. The red dress she is wearing simbolizes the pomegranate and how by her eating the seeds, it affected the rest of her life and is always there as a reminder to her.
