Bliss
Small artifacts such as a hand, foot, organs, seedpod, and the reproductive part of a butterfly rest on the surface of a card table. The sculptural forms reflect on the genesis of symbolic operations and juissance of the body.

“The writer is someone who plays with his mother’s body: in order to glorify it, to embellish it, or in order to dismember it; to take it to the limit of what can be known about the body”.
Roland Barthes
