I performed this ritual in October 2023, the action was revisiting a performance that I did in 2018 but pushing it deeper and futher, like peeling deeper layers of an oignon.

integrating the different feminine part of the artist, channeling different archetype from Psyche, Eve, to Marie and Thétis. Here the artist wears the snake as proudly, like a queen, accepting her sins and her vice, her power, sensuality and sexuality. As her husband wash away the ink healing the pain of her own judgement.

The ritual was perform as reconcillation of the different feminine parts judging each other struggleing to co-exhist with one -another.
