In medieval and renaissance times, It was said that in order to catch a unicorn you had to use an innocent young girl to lure the animal out of hiding. It would momentarily forget it was a wild animal, and lay in the maiden's lap, allowing for the hunters to trap it.

I wanted to illustrate an instance where someone didn't want to give the unicorn to its captures, and instead hid it to keep it safe, preserving the innocence of both involved.

Odysseus has to make the difficult journey through a narrow passage on his way home, and sail between two monsters. The once beautiful sea nymph turned monster, Scylla on one side. And the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia, a naid turned whirlpool, Charybdis, on the other. Athena is represented as an owl, guiding Odysseus on his journey seen flying in the front of the ship.

In Welsh mythology, Blodeuwedd is the spring and owl goddess, who represents life and death. Her name means "born of flowers" or "flower face." She was created from nine different floral blooms, but then transformed into an owl as punishment for betrayal.
She is part of a triad associated with the changing phases of the moon. She symbolizes fleeting beauty and the blooming of life that must come full circle through darkness and death. She is night and day, and the passing of seasons from spring to winter.

Atargatis comes from the Syrian legend that is said to be the first to introduce mermaids into mythology.  Stories say she was born from an egg that was pushed up onto the shore by a fish, and then incubated by a dove. Eventually, variations of the story spread throughout Greece and Rome.

Ophelia appears  a the tragic noblewoman of Denmark in the play “Hamlet” by William Shakesphere.  

When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;
And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:
Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;
As one incapable of her own distress,
Or like a creature native and indued
Unto that element: but long it could not be
Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,
Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay
To muddy death. (4.7.2)

A depiction the duality of human nature. I chose to illustrate this through water for its symbolic and cultural aspects. Water brings life, and without it, we would not exist. The pond’s surface also acts as a mirror, which is seen as a confirmation of existence and truth.
Similarly, emotion plays an important role in this effort, as it can alter what one considers to be socially acceptable. To accentuate this, theater masks were incorporated into the border each depicting a different emotion. Fear, sadness, anxiety, and anger all affect one’s primary impulses, and can alter even a “civilized” person’s disposition.
The internal struggle we all face is seen through the decisions we encounter every day. Personal morals and ideologies are constantly being challenged, and ultimately inspire our conduct. Though it is a difficult battle, it is an unavoidable truth of the human condition.
