"Anonymous Women: Reconstructed"
Statement: The woman, unseen, is desirable, strong and distinguished in her own world. Her obsession with striking decoration of the interior space has taken her over, so that now she is only a portion of the fantastical world she initially created. She has lost her separate identity. Her beautiful world is now a claustrophobic, but enticing, beautiful jail (of her own making) where she can feel safe, and separate from the outside world with its troubles and difficulties. She has retreated into herself and her emotions, where she relishes in her lovely objects and surroundings. They become her life, her lifeline and her children. Her world is now perfection without trouble, harmonious and beautiful.
