"This is a painted collage on PVC of which I connected the three parts with an iron hinge: here, the woman manifests herself as an elementary force. Two books were an inspiration for this work: Pure Lust: Elemental Feminist Philosophy by Mary Daly from 1984 and a recruitment booklet of The Order of the Great Companions, in which I discovered the Sanskrit word Ātman (self, soul)."
