Symbol evolution

The criterion of beauty evolves according to times...

In the Renaissance, curves, white complexion, long size, small ears, small feet, short teeth and red cheeks were the

criterions to be pretty. Botticelli has painted the famous painting" the birth

of the vénus " illustrating in the perfection the beauty of the Renaissance. The curves meant "being healthy and Wealth"

These criteria of beauty have changed a lot.

In 2010, the women are tall, thin or androgynous and the skin is nicely tanned. Today the thinness reveals wealth and good food. And contrary to what was the case centuries ago, the curves demonstrate an unhealthy lifestyle.

My simple Tribal Toxic symbol:

Religious symbols

Fatima's hand became a symbol in the Muslim world and Middle East. For hundreds of years the Hand of Fatima was worn as the symbol for loyalty and forbearance. Hamsa necklaces and Hamsa bracelets are used to bring good luck and protection to the owners. Some sources link the significance of the five fingers to the Five Pillars of Islam, the core principles of Sunni Islamic faith, though this significance may have been attributed after the fact to a symbol that was around well before Islam.

Religious and Tribal Symbols

A nowadays Toxic Symbol created with a tribal drawing.

Eye of Horus

Horus is represented as the falcon-headed god, was an important god in Egyptian legend. The symbol representing his eye, Eye of Horus, was a powerful symbol used to protect from evil. Pronounced "udjat" by the Egyptians, the Eye of Horus represents a human eye with the cheek markings of a falcon.

Me and my group of friends :we got the "surfer's" look. We are living in a small island called New Caledonia, and we are always doing some water sports, or fishing. We wear simple clothes, and we can sometimes have the "hippie" style.

Group of young people, identified as Gothic by wearing black-red clothes and have strong make up. They often got numerous piercings and tattoos. Their clothes are the reflect of their thought.
