The sculpture was inspired by artist Edgar Degas “After the Bath, Woman drying herself”. The series depicts women dancing or bathing, some showing women in awkward unnatural positions. Degas, speaking about these works, said, he intended to create a feeling in the viewer: "as if you looked through a keyhole."
My marble figure looks like dancing. It is an ordinary scene of a regular woman bathing in extraordinary movement. This is one of my first studies of the human body. I studied a few of Rubens paintings and he showed the beauty of a woman's body in all naturalness. Our culture is ever-changing. As much as it sounds kitsch, the media still shows the perfect bodies as privileged. Are we still able to see true beauty?
