Cléopatra
Posture of peace, sovereign presence.
In this series, Cleopatra wears neither crown nor scepter.
And yet, she reigns.
Her face, immersed in absolute black, is cut sharply against a neutral background. The light does not reveal, it sculpts. The contrast between the black body and the white garment transforms the figure into a timeless icon.
Her raised palms do not impose force, but silence.
This universal gesture draws a gentle boundary, an invitation to slow down and listen.
Cleopatra is not a historical figure here.
She is an archetype:
calm power, dignity, mastery.
