More Information:
The Song of Achilles is a retelling of the hero from Greek Mythology Achilles, told through his lover's eyes, Patroclus. The book tells a tragic yet beautiful story of these two men who fall in love and then head off to fight in the Trojan War. The two hands represent Achilles and Patroclus' love, (one dark to represent his greed for fame and one light to represent his pureness) while the flower passing between their hands is the Greek flower Asphodel, which represents the soul.
"Cause I loved you and I still do."

The Greatest by Billie Eilish is a song that can be interpreted in many ways by different people. For me, the part that always stuck out the most was this quote and how hard it is to truly let go of someone you once loved even though they hurt you.
"You're all kinda worthless so try to have some fun before you kick the bucket."

Gravity Falls was one of my favorite shows when I was younger, and the villain, Bill, is the one who said this quote. When creating this piece I wanted it to feel like a backhanded compliment, looks all pretty at first but once you read it you realize it's not pretty at all.
