Work Description
"Eau Défendue" is a series of perfumes that reflects the artistic world of **Niki de Saint Phalle**. The bottles feature zodiac motifs, symbolizing the mysteries of the universe, fate, and existence.
These images are deeply connected to the symbolism of tarot, in which the artist had a strong interest. This interest culminated in the monumental sculpture garden, Tarot Garden, created in Garavicchio, Tuscany, Italy.
The "Gémeaux" (Gemini) bottle also expresses themes of cosmology and destiny through zodiac symbolism, and can be said to be a work that incorporates Niki de Saint Phalle's fantastical artistic world into everyday objects.
