"A beauty-symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing. If I'm going to be a symbol of something I'd rather have it beauty than some other things we've got symbols of. "
Among her thousands and thousands photographs, I wanted those which captured her inner truth, her sadness, her sickness. I know all about her, she's my idol since my 12.
Today, maybe she could have been cured or appeased, but would she have avoided her fascination for the powerful men of this world ? She died with her secrets we now know. Like Icarus, she burned her wings.
