New Orleans remembers her monsters.
 
Madame LaLaurie is a meditation on beauty and horror, how they often share the same house, the same face, the same whispering street. Inspired by one of the city’s most infamous figures, this digital collage reimagines her not as history’s villain, but as an echo of every gilded cruelty that hides behind lace and candlelight.
 
She stands at the edge of the French Quarter, elegant and unrepentant, framed by barbed wire and memory. The colors bleed like old wine, the air thick with silence, the kind that follows after secrets have been unearthed.
 
Part of my Tongue of the Serpent collection, this piece explores the intersection of myth, morality, and the ghosts we choose to remember.
 
Because even the most beautiful façades eventually crack.
