#488 Le Genre Nocturne

The woman hides her head.
Except she has no head. Is 
that what she is trying to 
hide? The wall is a dirty gray. 
There is an oval shape on it. 
Egg? Opening? Mirror? Is 
cracked, whatever it is. The 
presence of the woman's hands 

prevents us from looking past 
the cracks to see what's hidden 
there. The mirror stares back at
us. We raise our hands. The wo-
man hides her head before them — 
except she has no head to hide.
