Artwork Description
"Eau Défendue" (Forbidden Water) is a perfume series that reflects the artistic world of **Niki de Saint Phalle**. The bottles feature zodiac motifs, symbolizing mystical themes such as existence and destiny.
These images are deeply connected to the world of tarot, an interest the artist held for many years. Her fascination with its symbolic system culminated in the magnificent sculpture park, Tarot Garden, created in Garavicchio, Tuscany, Italy.
This "Taureau" (Taurus) bottle also expresses the universe and destiny through zodiac symbolism, and can be said to be a work that incorporates Niki de Saint Phalle's fantastical worldview into an everyday object.
