Art Evolution: The Deep Blue Sea and Greek Mythology Today

Art Evolution:
The Deep Blue Sea and Greek Mythology Today
Dr Abe V Rotor

Blue Fish AV Rotor 2025

Blue* in the deep sea 
makes the fish free,
invisible to their enemy
and to their prey.

* Blue light is known as high-energy visible (HEV) light because it has the shortest wavelengths - and therefore the highest energy - of all visible light. Thus making the ocean and the sky appear blue.

Legendary Cave by AV Rotor 2025

It reminds us of the Minotaur*
slayed by a young hero; 
 wonder if there's a Theseus today,
to make the story true.

*Minotaur - a mythical creature portrayed during classical antiquity 
with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man

Quo vadis, art?
