Throughout history wine has occupied a preponderant place in many cultures.
This is the reason why I thought of creating this allegory on the creation and development of life, by means of the fabrication of a complex living product, wine, from a simple earthly ingredient, grape.
The queen-mother is crowned by peasants cheerfully harvesting the magical fruit; the opening of her dress is white wine glass; her necklace is corkscrew; her shoulder pads are sowed fields; and in her hands, she holds a twig of vine, principle of the child to come, himself fruit of the woman.
The architectural background simulates bottles through its apertures, but also of standing Men.
