Leslie is Irish-German-Lebanese, adopted by American Jewish parents. Leslie believes in love. Nudity gives her freedom. Leslie lives in apartment number 3 with snakes and cats. We used these symbols to make a story of a girl that found freedom away from religious conventions. The ambivalence of a female as a virgin or a sinner. The snake suggests Satan; number 3 the holy Trinity. Laundromat for cleansing with the dryer as a door into an underworld. A burn recalls fire as punishment or God’s presence. With Christianity in middle ages the cat stood for evil, prior to this for femininity.
