Le Rêve de la pêcheuse (2017)
This piece is inspired by Hokusai's 1814 print entitled The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, which is part of the shunga (erotic art book) Kinoe no Komatsu describing the misadventures of a pearl diver who defies a dragon king, god of the sea, to recover a stolen jewel. Hokusai offers a highly eroticized vision of this tragic tale, in which the monster is protected by enterprising octopuses and seduced by the princess. This piece uses datamoshing to combine bodies and materials in a colorful underwater arabesque.
