Project 8

Surrealism image - The Discovery of Keku

Title: Keku

I chose to call this image Keku beacuase: In greek mythology  Keku is the deification of the primordial concept of darkness in ancient Egyptian Religion. In the Ogdoad cosmogony, his name meant darknessLike all four dualistic concepts in the Ogdoad, Keku's male form was depicted as a frog, or as a frog-headed man. As a symbol of darkness, Keku also represented obscurity and the unknown, and thus chaos. Also, Keku was seen as that which occurred before light, thus was known as the bringer-in of light. 
I decided to create a more modern version of Keku.
