Red

This is my last work, inspired (again!) by Little Red Riding Hood... I guess that she has this "thing"!
Immersed into the deep forest, she represents sensuality and innocence lost.

"A Forest" by The Cure (my all time favorite band!) creates the perfect atmosphere for my work... I love how music can surround an image and recreate a fantastic "short animated film" in your imagination.

Here are the lyrics:

Come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
Come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
calling my name
the sound is deep
in the dark
I hear her voice
and start to run
into the trees
into the trees

into the trees

Suddenly I stop
but i know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
all alone
The girl was never there
it's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
again and again and again
