Harpon Harpy Harpiā

You know if there is any word for a male harpy? If there is I haven’t found it. So even if there’s one is so little used that isn’t a real word.

Harpon attack

Yesterday I’ve been to DDD Digital Design Days. A speaker, a designer from Apple, remarked the importance of the project and meaning, over the realization.

I started thinking and sketching this male harpy (I’m calling harpon) attacking a girl.

Every detail, is a symbol; the wings as a social advantage, the halo as a political and legal legitimacy.

Why the symbolism?

I think there is a misunderstanding between non-artis and artis on meaning of things. Sometimes people don’t believe small details in art have a meaning but, starting from a blank canvas, everything I add is a choice, a decision. It’s most likely I thought about it that I didn’t, because even not thinking and adding something random is a decision that has a meaning.

You can’t control what you are inspiring people, for a minute I stopped thinking: “What would the DDD speaker think if he knew he inspired me drowning this harpon attacking a girl with his hard cock and halo on the head?”
