DESCRIPTION:
|
Frustration Attraction is a painting which depicts Salome holding the head of John the Baptist in her hands. Despite her longing for him, he remained unattainable due to a conflict of ideological principles. The only way she could satisfy her desire was to have his head brought to her on a platter, where she could finally kiss her would- be lover’s lips. The painting is about unrequited and courtly love, where distance increases desire... but where its object is also destroyed upon satisfaction of that desire.
