Inspired on some chapters of Mary Selley´s book the idea od a female "bride" for Frankenstein, as it was his will, to have some one to "love", expresses not just the scientifc approach of the creation but also an emotional need to fulfill the complete task of a new beeing. But some questions remain, we can create the machine, we can invent even a new kind of living body, but can we invent love? Or is just this the eternal light we all want to reach... onde day... but that we will never be able to control?Madame Zine
What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?
“From the midst of this darkness a sudden light broke in upon me—a light
so brilliant and wondrous.”
Light reveals, illuminates, clarifies; it is essential for seeing, and
seeing is the way to knowledge. Just as light can illuminate, however, so can
it blind; pleasantly warm at moderate levels, it ignites dangerous flames at
higher ones. Thus, light is balanced always by fire, the promise of new
discovery by the danger of unpredictable—and perhaps tragic—consequences.
