Cleopatra

And the final product.

You may be thinking that this woman, with the witchy gaze, piercing your soul, cannot be named something as feminine as Cleopatra. That is because, many times, when we think Cleopatra, we inevitably think of that 70’s remake where Cleo is adorned in gold and eyeliner and a slit in her skirt up to the crotch. But, actually Cleopatra, it is said, despite her sheer sexuality, used a snake to kill herself. She picked up a wriggling serpent, and put it’s fangs into her arm—thereby rejecting her fate. That’s not an act for the faint-hearted and I can see the subject of this piece doing the same. So, I think it’s apt. Asp.
