From Boky’s Figurative Poetry Collection, this bronze was directly inspired by a poem entitled Mea Culpa taken from Paul Géraldy’s book Toi et Moi. It has been a source of inspiration for Boky for many years. While studying in Florence, she found an old, dilapidated copy of the book in a basement. It inspired a series of paintings, as well as, a series of photos entitled Le Roi est Mort.
Mea Culpa:
Au fond, vois-tu, mon erreur,
ma grande folie
c'est d'avoir chargé ton cœur
de tout le poids ma vie
Which translates to:
In the end, you see my error,
My greatest folly
Is to have charged your heart
With all the weight of my life
