L'Amazone Érogène offers a metaphor inspired by the artist’s very personal experience with breast cancer. In true catharsis fashion, following her cancer-free diagnosis, this installation lingers on her documentary called “Serendipity”, directed in 2019 and echoes other important themes close to Nourry’s heart, such as procreation. The swarm of arrows shooting towards the target mimics thousands of spermatozoids rushing towards an ovary during fertilization. Prune Nourry’s unique piece of art reveals a strong yet sensitive message of hope, one that carries a range of meaning to whoever experiences it. Directly inspired by a challenge the artist personally had to overcome, the installation pays tribute to life forces and the strength of women.

“I also gained a lot from sharing with others– from exchanges with my neighbours or searchers, people closer to me or that I met on the other side of the globe. I realised that the people I met and the subjects I talked about, in one way or another, resonated from who I was as a human being and what I believed in. This is where a universal language lies.”
