"The hidden identity behind the physical form of femininity. Women
referred as the incarnation of seduction, sensuality, beauty... Male
Gaze, Male chase. We can be Feminine, we can be Human, we can
be Nature. It can be desired and loved, it can be rejected and
feared. And she feels desired through your eyes. Is this an illusion
of validation? She is here for you and her, she is alone. But solitude
can be disturbing. But the mass can be invasive. she appears in
front of an angry stranger, a repressed self, waiting to shed from
her image. And there she stand with misery in front of what seems
eternity for herself. See Femininity as the moon of the sky, the light
of the obscurity rather than the shadow of the sun, the tentacles of
the dark. At the end we are all onions, you’ll see why."
