Thalia (in ancient Greek Θάλεια / Tháleia or Θάλια / Thália, "the joyous, the flourishing", from θάλλειν / thállein, to flourish, to be verdant) was the muse who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry. She was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the eighth-born of the nine Muses. She was portrayed as a young woman with a joyous air, crowned with ivy, wearing boots and holding a comic mask in her hand.

Gregory Crewdson
Gregory Crewdson constructs impresive photographs of America’s Suburbia in which beauty and a strong sense of the bizzare converge in perfect harmony. His works seem to be largely inspired by American Film and the Barroque Tenebrist Painters (such as Rembrandt), and tend to show an almost frozen protagonist surrounded by beautiful chaos. His work is definitely worth a look!
