Courtship

"Courtship" (1986) shows half a woman's face with closed eyes and a bow gliding over her chest. From her chest emerges a veil that transforms into a bird, while a snail shell with an eye unfolds in the background. This artwork symbolizes spiritual transformation and increasing creative power by transcending purely sexual aspects. Closed eyes indicate introspection and inner focus, while the bow represents creativity and harmony. The veil that transforms into a dove represents the transition to a higher, spiritual sphere, while the snail shell with the eye symbolizes deep inner awareness. "Minnespel" emphasizes the transcendence of purely physical desires to a spiritual level of love and passion.
