Intertwined are the moon and the sun

Aude Nasr

One of four graphic images. The text reads: Some of them always knew it, whereas some noticed it late. In any case, others started searching, and searching, and searching, and searching. This image has dark colours of blues and purples. It depicts the back of a woman with long black hair and a red shirt in a tumultuous sea. Around her are four blank faces with no facial features except for empty yellow eyes. It is raining.

Second of four graphic images. The text reads: Until one of them found what was to be blamed. Some wanted to look, and then one offered to fix. And one step after the other, they found themselves in the right office. In this office, they knew how to make you normal, how to make you like the others. The image has dark colours of blues and purples. It depicts the head and shoulders of a woman with long hair and wearing a yellow shirt. She looks tired. She is inside a room and the door is closed behind her. There are two non-descript posters on the wall and the wallpaper is of stars.

Third of four graphic images. The text reads: With the magic pills, all would be solved, they promised. Yet little by little, it started feeling different, as if there was a monster living within, ready to reveal the shared secret to the world. The image has dark colours of blues and purples. It depicts the torso of a woman with long hair and a blank face and empty eyes. Superimposed over her face is the torso of a person similar to the first cartoon image with no facial features except a slit over the eyes which reveals empty red eyes. Snakes surround this torso.

Fourth of four graphic images. The text reads: Whose body and whose face was this, anyway? Whose personality, whose anger and whose shame? And most importantly: whose fear? The girl and the monster always seemed to be trembling in unison. What a terrifying thought that this neatly repaired human might be real, yet breaking in other places, now. The image has dark colours of blues and purples. It depicts a woman with closed eyes. She looks like she is falling. One leg is bent up in the air, and both legs are cut into pieces.
