Description
Photo composite of vintage kneeling nude portrait and photos of a white feather and autumn leaves, inspired by the following poem:
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
William Butler Yeats, Leda and the Swan (l. 1-4)
