The effigy of a young woman in a relaxing position placed on the marble bench in the center of the "hot" hall of the Bey Hammam. Vasiliki made of soap, in an unexpected interaction with the space, sweats. Small droplets appear on the skin of the sculpture accelerating its deterioration, while at the same time underlining the ephemerality of a love touch, a memory, existence itself.
"The perishability of the material,
the ephemera of love's touch
which brings about purification.
Within the hammam environment,
the work refers to the slow decay
of an existing or fictional memory."
