“A woman who puts on lipstick is a woman who has decided to be seen. Here the gold metal rises towards the lip exactly where the stick would go, and nothing in the gesture gives the difference away: the same ritual, carried through to the end. What I am after lies there, in the second before going out, when the shine is already on and no one has seen it yet; the gold of the metal and the gloss of the lips answer each other like two instruments in the same score. Bullet of Beauty is my way of paying tribute to those seconds before the event — the ones nobody sees, and which nonetheless change everything.”
