Alba Gonzales.
The subject of the sphinx recurs in many of her works, with the creature's typical ambivalence. For Gonzales, the sphinx embodies the seductive allure of many contemporary dreams and myths. Today's sphinx no longer poses its deadly enigmas because it has become an enigma itself. This Sphinx offers a dove, a bird sacred to Aphrodite and a symbol of prostitution. It mirrors a sexual act no longer experienced authentically, but mechanically, and a narcissism contrasted with openness and contact with others.
