Habéas

Original work of art, numbered 1/8 — 2009 — Height: 270 cm.

“It is said that I shall be a woman of sleep; mouth and eyelids closed, I dream. It is said that I shall be a woman of excess, whose dishevelled weave lies in a golden sheaf. Murmur… Woman of conquest, the stag bells within me. I alight, and others dispose of the veins of my animal soul.”

“My hands are wise, they have no age. My breasts rise — under what omen? Their essence is from elsewhere. It is said that I shall be a ballerina woman, hybrid, a trunk woman. The gods have chosen. Âme stram gram — Habéas does not tell her story.”
