The eternal feminine
“The Eternal Feminine” is a vibrant ode to the diversity and complexity of women. Suzanne Larrieu fashioned this bust from recycled cardboard, giving it the appearance of skin marked with life, while a delicately painted hand rests on her heart, like a protective or meditative gesture. Inscribed on this sculpture are words, various descriptions, listing the multiple facets of femininity: strong and gentle, mysterious and bold, wise and rebellious.
This text, engraved on the body of the work itself, reflects the myriad of identities and experiences that make up women, in all their singularity and universality. Each adjective, each contrast, speaks of expectations and freedoms, of imposed visions and lived truths. “The eternal feminine” then becomes a mirror of perceptions and struggles, a celebration of women in their timeless and changing essence.
Suzanne Larrieu invites us to contemplate this figure not as a fixed ideal, but as a sum of stories and traits that transcend eras. It is a powerful work, which pays homage to all women and to the indomitable mystery of femininity.
