Mirrored Installations by Sarah Meyohas Create Infinite Tunnels Strewn With Dangling Flowers

In artist Sarah Meyohas‘s series Speculations, infinite tunnels are created with facing mirrors set against pastel backdrops. Smoke, flowers, and finger tips border the reflective surfaces, creating dream-like environments that pull the viewer deep into the image’s frame. Meyohas is interested in the creating a seductive quality in each of the photos. “Whether it’s the colors or the flowers drawing you in, I want viewers to feel like they’re being drawing into the void, like standing upon a precipice,” the New York City-based artist tells Sleek Magazine. You can see more of her mirrored works on Instagram. (via Contemporary Art Blog) Thanks Colossal

Name: Lamassu, Shedu, Alad
Area of Origin: Ancient Mesopotamian cultures

The Lamassu, or less commonly referred to as Shedu or Alad, were ancient Assyrian and Sumerian protective deities, depicted with the body of a bull or lion, eagle’s wings and a human head, usually male. They are celestial beings and were household protective spirits of the Babylonians, but were later associated as royal protectors, usually placed as sentinels at the entrances to palaces in the form of colossal sculptures. They may have influenced the look of Sphinxes and other chimeric creatures found in future civilizations. Recently, a large statue of one of these was found destroyed at a historical archeological site demolished by ISIS.

The Sphinx Gate of Alaca Höyük, Turkey.

Showing strong evidence for Egyptian influence, the Hittite Sphinx Gate likely served as the main entrance into Alaca Höyük, and is located near the palace area.

EDIT: added a couple new sphinx classes, cross and elder! this post is a year old by now, but i had been thinking of some of the ideas i didnt get to put in it at the time

a little thing i whipped up because i absolutely adore sphinxes, theyre my favorite mythical creature as you know

in my head ive always sort of given them very loose classifications as if they were a real thing with their wide variances

this is in no way meant to be super realistic, nor is it a pass at a “species” sort of deal like youd see on deviantart. its just a sort of personal thing i work with in my own head

if you like my classification ideas feel free to work from them yourself, or not. it doesnt matter! :0 credit would be nice tho if you do c:

Barbara Licha born in Poland 1957 is an artist currently based in Sydney, Australia. She studied painting, graphics, and sculpture before traveling around Europe, and then to Australia in 1982. She was awarded a Graduate Diploma in Fine Arts from Sydney’s City Art Institute in 1989. The artist says:

Everything about people interests me. The complexity of people’s behaviour has always intrigued me, and inspired me to visually express the range of emotion we see in the human condition. I explore the parallels between ordinary people that I come across in real life and the people that reside in my imagination, my own representations of emotion.
