This sculpture is born of an absolutely personal interpretation of the myth
of Leda, and in some ways it later becomes an autobiographical tale.


The symbolic use of the red colour - blood and love - is focused on two
crucial points: head and feet/helmet and thongs; with the blue vitreous
eyes, they disconnect from the neutrality of all other parts.


This contemporaneous Leda, daughter and wife of every war master, cheated
by each aspiring God under false pretenses, like a war poet, sublimates
fear and suffering by means of suspended words.


Strong words that dry out a mouth, hidden verses, never told but
collected inside.


The helmet is the generator of silence that gives her the ability to shape
herself across a cruel reality (world - war - deceit) and an introspective
vision (self - suffering - love).
