Description Compelled by the burning desire that consumes her

Made for a project at school on the 7 Deadly Sins. This is the final one of the 7-part series. These pictures actually go together in one long picture (42 inches long) that has already been finished...I'm just splitting them up for submitting here.

Symbolism
Light blue is actually the color for lust, but I think a purple-red works better. Red roses mean love...hearts are red...works better than light blue.
The roses in the picture represent love (usually a symbol for lust) and they are burning because they represent the burning feelings of love that she has.

The setting is based on the book Dante's Inferno: a dead, desolate place.

All of the seven deadly sins in my series are women because:
A) Women are thought to be more "sinful" for over hundreds of years now. Don't get all woman-activist on me for saying that, I'm a woman myself - and no, I don't believe that "women are more sinful." I think people are people; neither sex is more sinful than the other.
B) There are more women stock providers then men on deviantart. Sorry guys, but there's just not enough of you for me to use!

Lust doesn't equal love. Just saying.

Lust is a deep overwhelming desire of love,
its like the dark side of love.

Lust isn't desire of love, it's a sexual desire. Different.

Another great piece and I liked that you explained the symbolism of the colors as well. Isn't their some ole tail of a ghostly lady who would wave a red scarf outside the window of men and would cause them to follow her?

Light blue? Seriously? Huh, that's weird, I always imagined Lust as a purple-red-pink sort of combo. Lust, the sin, is defined by Aristotle as 'excessive love of others, redering love of God as secondary'. Making lust, the loving excessively part, a sin always sort of pissed me off mostly because it clashese with my religous beliefs. The 'being obessessed with sex' part I totally understood though.

elestrial In reply to yotsuki [2010-07-16 06:22:10 +0000 UTC]

Lust, loving excessively, becomes a sin when it's out of control. Just like all of the other deadly sins. Everyone gets a little bit of them all - it's when they control your actions that they become a problem

Honestly Lust is only detrimental if it interferes with love and destroys it

elestrial In reply to Greed-kun [2009-07-30 17:13:56 +0000 UTC]

Lust can do more then just that. It often blinds people and can cause them to make bad judgement calls and stupid decisions. Not to mention a lot of people confuse the strongest feelings of lust with love
