She is the mother of all mothers.

She is also an order from my father,
who one day pointed at L’Endormie (the little one)
that I had given him a few years earlier:

“You should make this one, but bigger” he told me.

When I delivered Endormie to him,
he only said:

“This is not what I ordered, it’s not the same!”
“Wait until the sun moves to the West…”
was my only reply.

Three days later he called me to apologise.

When I sculpted Endormie
I was pregnant with my third child.

I only found out later.
