Artwork description:

This is a surreal black-and-white photomontage infused with the decadent spirit of 1920s Paris. Inside a glass bottle, a mysterious femme fatale - half-woman, half-mermaid - emerges in a haze of smoke, echoing the intoxicating nights of Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer. The background glows with neon hotel signs and shadowy Parisian streets, evoking the city’s forbidden quarters. Inspired by the experimental surrealist photography of Man Ray and Dora Maar, the work merges cabaret sensuality with dreamlike distortion. Themes of confinement, desire, and urban poetry intertwine, creating a visual dialogue between Parisian bohemia, surrealist fantasy, and the smoky allure of lost time.
