Mostly known as Venus/Aphrodite, her most popular portrayal is as the goddess of love and fertility, beauty and regeneration, who calms the sea and pacifies nature, meaning that her qualities balance and harmonize human instincts and emotions. The symbols associated with Aphrodite include the swan, the dolphin, the rose, and the dove. Hence, she is called Galinaie and Efrlia, meaning "the one who brings calm and the protector of safe journeys and ships." She is also the goddess of spring and, each spring, reunites with her Cypriot lover, Adonis, who dies at the end of each summer only to resurrect every spring and reawaken nature from its winter sleep.

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine. I won't try to philosophize,
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes. This is how I feel.

Yaaay! You live! :hug: :glomp: :heart:
Lovely toning to this piece, and I love how the model's hair colour contrasts. I love how the background seems somewhat washed out but then the girl is crisp and clean. Very pretty! :D
