  • @artur8188 art is about whatever you can make of it. When it's really abstract, it's more about what you can make of yourself.

  • they played Fikret Amirov's music! couldn't have suited more- so beautiful!!

  • Meraviglioso...

  • amazing what can be done when you slow tape down or reverse it..phew, what next, in focus?

    

  • @astghikaguero Don't tell anymore... You're killing one of the most important things in art: the mistery and the curiosity.

  • so beautiful.........she IS a godess

  • in the movie, it has to do with erotica as we see it placed on a woman's breast. and finally the peacock feather is a symbol of royalty as the woman/Sayat Nova's muse was a Georgian princess.

    obviously different symbols can have different meanings for everyone, but generally i think these are the right ones.

  • the advancement of the Persian army. Also notice his palm is dirty. it is probably earth, and red, red for blood.

    the flowers are beauty, for he was a poet and beauty was something he clearly could well appreciate. the candle looks like one you would find in a church, therefore = religion.

    the lace is something we see the woman weaving and later in the movie it changes colours (from white to red), it might be a symbol of the love between her and Sayat Nova.

    as for the shell, we see it earlier

  • the book and pen he is holding - obviously the literature in which he was immersed.

    the cups, one with earth the other with grain - simply the earth, to which the armenian people are very connected

    the lavash bread and the earth - food and our lands, both of which we need to survive

    chicken, and i think he's holding his kamancha/musical instrument in his other hand - animals which we need to live as is

    the skull in the helmet - might be the foreshadowing of his death, for Sayat Nova died during

  • can someone please explain the symbolism
