The jelly fish was inspired by an Ancient bronze statue of a seated boy extracting a thorn from his left foot (Capitoline Mus., Rome) named Spinario. Most likely it is a Hellenistic work created in the first century BC. C
It is recorded in Rome as early as the 12th century and during the Renaissance it was one of the most influential and copied of ancient sculptures. It's fame endured and it was one of the ancient works taken by Napoleon to Paris, where it remained from 1798 to 1815. Various stories grew up from the Renaissance onwards to explain the subject, the most popular being that the statue commemorates a shepherd boy called Gnaeus Martius who delivered an important message to the Roman Senate and only when his task was accomplished stopped to remove a thorn from his foot. It is now generally thought that the Spinario is a Roman pastiche of about the 1st century bc, combining a Hellenistic body with a head of earlier date (the way in which the hair falls suggests that the head was meant to be in an upright position rather than looking down as it is now).
It is not an idealized representation or the image of a god, but a gender subject that takes its cue from an event or contingent condition. At least so it seems. But a hidden, profound thought runs through it. It's about suffering and human condition.
The jellyfish was think to be a contemporary version of theses youthful figure.
Like us almost naked in the waters of the ocean fo life , the Spinario boy its doing a small and concentrated in a gesture that betrays fragility and inexperience, revealing in a didactic way the risks and consequences of small adventures in the woods, walks in pleasant and bucolic places, much appreciated by wealthy citizens of the great Hellenistic metropolises.
The figurative theme, thanks to the symbolic meaning assigned to the action of pulling the plug, has already been transformed in ancient times into a metaphor for the pain caused by falling in love, which has made it a great fortune.
During my contemplation of this statue , it has me thing about love and it responsibilities
The courage to be engaged in this honorable human relationship that its love . Is a process , dedicated, how ever violent, often terrifying to both persons involved. It's a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. Like the spinario tells us the vulnerability of a spine that stops you to walk in this beautiful bosque .
Now a days I saw many people going out from relationships because of the pains of it …. But what teach us life and old centuries of culture . It's that the spines and the danger it's part of this path.
Spinario can has different narratives and points of view … not just love ….
From a narrative point of view, it was thought precisely that the boy removed a thorn from his foot, returning after a conference with his beloved, from which he had been sentimentally injured. Other versions - more heroic - claim that the boy was a herald sent in a rush to ask for reinforcements during the battle.
You can see it in this both ways . Because as I believe love and life are the same thing . It's the action on believe in the being and the capacity that if you can keep going you can’t imagine what can transforme and teach you. You can tase the sentimental injure of the misfortune of love and be hurt , but you can see as an heroic courageous path.
Since I was I child I was amazed by ocean, being in the water just floating , it seems that my body was free of any difficulty and pain. Was an enjoy full experience …. How ever this beautiful contemplation of the moment .when I was in the waters I also was terrified by the beauty and the danger of a jelly fish . A jelly fish is a magnify creature. Seems so fragile but also so powerful
I was the kind of a tough girl . Once I was attacked by a jelly fish , And I was proud to show that it didn’t; hurts anything . And with this courageous way I always put my self in the freedom of the salt waters.
When you looks to Spinario statue ,the young man, with a serene face, removes the pain caused by the thorn of life, without his face being in the least disturbed. Many Romans saw it as a perfect allegory of stoic thought that invited to avoid emotions and to face the excesses of pain and pleasure with serenity and detachment.
The Stoics supported the virtues of self-control and detachment from earthly things, taken to the extreme in the ideal of ataraxia, as a means of achieving moral and intellectual integrity. In the stoic ideal it is the dominion over passions or apathy that allows the spirit to achieve wisdom.
You must contemplate the jelly fish with serenity and remove its paint with maturity ….
How ever Ivan if you show that you are strong , you must understand the responsibly if this danger of love and life. You must respect but keep going in this ocean..
We can’t take out suffering from life. But we can integrate as part of it . We must accept this terrifying vulnerability to be engaged in love and in a human relationship.
Its powerful way to approach the true freedom . That’s whey terrifies us. But we can't paralize about it of run away from the waters.
