Vacuum-sealed Ste-Teresa

Description

In her writings, Saint Teresa describes her bliss when in contact with the divine; yet, in the work of Bernini, her suggestive expression implies that this deep bliss was not spiritual but quite explicitly physical. This paradox that I wanted to explore has fascinated me for many years. Here, the vacuum-sealed woman is suffocating in a plastic bag. However, when comes the moment of her death caused by the lack of air, instead of pain, an expression of pure bliss can be read on her face.
