Whilst thinking of a story for my animation of The Vainglorious Watering Can, I decided to look to an ancient greek myth of Narcissus.
Narcissus was an extraordinarily handsome, yet cold and vain youth from Boeotia,
Greece. Narcissus didn't love anybody but himself and believed that he was the
only one worth loving.
One day, while he was sitting near a fountain, with
his big eyes he noticed a beautiful face gazing at him from the water source.
Charmed by the beauty he saw, he wanted to plunge his arm into the water to
capture it.
However, despite his efforts, the reflection remained in the
same position, until finally the young man suffered decline and died.
Shortly
after his death, a white flower with a faint smell grew in that location,
bearing his name as a symbol of decay and the Underworld.
This is just a first idea and it may change as i continue resaerch but I think this is a good starting point.
