In a hurry, the eye will perceive the profile of a young woman with a graceful bearing but upon closer inspection it will discover a figure out of time and space. It is a character in metamorphosis: gardens and stairs are born in her head, her body, supported by scaffolding, turns into brick, her mouth exhales letters of the alphabet. It is a surreal situation that belongs to both dream and desire. Set your gaze and you will gradually see her being come alive, her breath become vital. Strive a little and her language will seem understandable and finally, perhaps, you will make her thoughts yours.
