She is a Bacchante — a priestess of ancient wine and elemental femininity.
In myth, she was a companion of Dionysus — god of grapes, madness, and freedom.
But here, she is quiet. Not in a dance, not in ecstasy,
but in a moment of ripeness, fullness, and inner stillness.

In her basket — the gifts of the earth. In her glass — the blood of the vine.
And in her gaze — an echo of an ancient cult of pleasure,
where each berry, each sip, is an act of devotion to life itself.
