Portrait inspired by the words of V. Hugo: "We have so abused the gaze in romance novels that we have ended up discrediting it. We hardly dare say now that two beings loved each other because they looked at each other. Yet that is how we love each other and only like that. The rest is just the rest, and comes after. Nothing is more real than these great shocks that two souls give each other by exchanging this spark."
The homage to Victor Hugo anchors the work in a literary tradition.
