Here, we encounter a motif that offers a fascinating dialogue between the opposites of human and animal, softness and hardness, life and silence. This work recalls Meret Oppenheim's surrealist masterpiece "Le Bateau-Lit", in which a nude woman transforms her body into a bowl to carry a fish. Here too, the motif of the fish is subtly manipulated to create a suggestive and provocative atmosphere. The lips, a symbol of seduction and expression, become the harbor of exotic life, pointing to a deeply human longing for connection with organic and instinctive life. The combination of intimacy and exoticism, humanity and animality, forms a captivating dichotomy that invites the viewer to deep contemplation of themes such as identity, femininity, and the complex relationship between human and nature.
