Okokuqala lokhu umfanekiso kaMedusa ophethe ikhanda likaPerseus ngesandla sakheNgaphandle kokudala zonke izinhlobo zezimpikiswano ngenxa yendawo etholakala kuyo, kuyisibonelo sokugcina sendlela yokuphatha umzimba wabantu besifazane abanqunu kwezobuciko.
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa lapho ukuya ocansini komzimba wowesifazane kuyinkundla yempi, lo msebenzi ukubeka kucace bha ukuthi unjani umzimba wowesifazane onqunu ngesithombe esakhiwe kahle futhi esinomyalezo ongaphezulu kokusobala.
I-asymmetry ye- ubujamo bayo, ukuba mncane kwayo nokuthi ingokoqobo kangakanani, nomyalezo awuphethe ngokuguqula inganekwane yamaGrikhi yeMedusa, utholakala ezindaweni eziseduze nezinkantolo eManhattan; lapho umkhiqizi uHarvey Weinstein abhekene nobulungiswa futhi wakhuthaza i- #metoo.
Isihloko njenge UMedusa Enenhloko YasePerseus, isithombe esenziwe ngezinyawo esiyisi-7 sethusi Kubonakala ngalezo zinwele ezigcwele izinyoka, inkemba kwesinye sezandla nekhanda likaPerseus kwesinye.
Un umsebenzi owenziwe nguLuciano Garbati ngo-2008, Kwenziwa ukugqugquzela ukubaza kwakhe uPerseus ngekhanda leMedusa nguBenvenuto Cellini (1545-1554). Yomibili le misebenzi isuselwa enganekwaneni yamaGrikhi ka-Ovid's Metamorphosis, inkondlo enezincwadi eziyi-15 elandisa ngomlando womhlaba kusukela ekudalweni kwayo kuze kube sekukhonjisweni kukaJulius Caesar.
Eqinisweni, i- Isifanekiso sikaGarbati saziwa kusukela #moo ukunyakaza kwe-2018 ngokudalula ubugebengu bobulili bomkhiqizi wamafilimu uWeinstein. Futhi ukuthi ngonyaka we-2018, isithombe somsebenzi kaGarbati sasakazwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngombhalo othi "Yiba nokubonga ukuthi sifuna ukulingana kuphela hhayi ukuziphindiselela."
Una umsebenzi ogcwala ubuqiniso kumafomu futhi leyo yindlela enhle yokukhombisa umzimba womuntu wangempela wabesifazane. Sikushiya ne- Isithombe sikaLouvre esingenazikhali.
