Description
This sculpture unites two of Dalí’s obsessions: fire, and a female figure with drawers. The flames seem to have a life of their own, and represent the hidden intensity of unconscious desire, while the drawers represent the mystery of hidden secrets. This beautiful faceless woman symbolizes all women. For Dali, a woman’s mystery is her true beauty.
