Description
This is the fifth page of the book I made an edition of 4 of for Intaglio II. The book is inspired by the novella, The Hour of the Star, by Clarice Lispector.

Each page had an overlay of text from the novella, which I will include here:

The girl possessed what is known as inner life without knowing that she possessed it. She was nourished by her own entity, as if she were feeding off her own entrails.
Her dreams were empty on account of all that inner life, because they lacked the essential nucleus of any prior experience – of ecstasy, let’s say. Most of the time she possessed, without knowing it, the emptiness that replenishes the souls of saints.

All text is copyright Clarice Lispector and her translator, with minor edits by me.
