Umay Ana is a sacred goddess in Turkish mythology who is the source of life and protects children and women from evil. Umay Ana is the inspiration for my hero and my artwork.
The work belongs to me and is original.
Umay Ana is a sacred goddess in Turkish mythology who represents fertility, abundance, and the protector of life. She is believed to protect children and women from evil; she symbolizes family order and the balance of nature. In mythology, she holds an important place as a force that facilitates childbirth, increases abundance, and protects life. The color white and the crescent moon are her main symbols. Like the moon, she is a source of inspiration that reflects the light of renewal, tranquility, and fertility onto the world. Umay Ana continues to be a cultural source of inspiration symbolizing the creative and transformative power of women in art, literature, and social awareness initiatives. Umay Ana is my hero and the inspiration for my artwork.
