The Chaste Susanna

Quim Hereu reinterprets the myth of Susanna, the biblical figure spied on and harassed by the elders, setting the scene on a timeless, pristine beach where desire and moral judgment coexist in tension. Susanna sits nude yet serene at the edge of a calm sea.
Two floating ocean moonfish, oversized and out of place, watch the female figure as if absurd judges in a silent farce.
Susanna neither pleads nor defends herself; she exposes the hypocrisy of the self-proclaimed guardians of morality, who condemn even as they desire.
The Girona landscape in the background, with the silhouette of Sant Feliu de Guíxols on the horizon, grounds the biblical story in a personal, Mediterranean context, transforming it into an enduring symbol of feminine resistance and clarity.
