She clutches a shred of a pirate’s emblematic ensign (the skull and crossed bones), torn from one of the many ships she has visited—crew members of which she lured deep to their watery graves, with her irresistible song and seductive silhouette. The line between her thighs provides a symbolic link between uterus and bleached white skull—the life line traveling from birth to death.Exhibitions
