As many other paintings, it started happening while on a dream: I was on a bus and a woman opposite me was sitting with her legs slightly appart, wearing a short and straight skirt. The shadow on the tensed gap seemed quite an intense innuendo, and so the main thing on my head when I woke up that day was that eight shaped gap, and the painting started as such and grew outwards into a figure, which had to be oblivious of herself and lure me to see.
