While innocently picking flowers in a field, this "flower" was picked as the earth beneath her suddenly opened up an swallowed her up! In a literal sense, actually it was Hades, the Greek God of the underworld, who fell in love with Persephone an chose to make her his bride! This piece was inspired from that story and my love for Mythology. Hope you like!!~S
