George Lappas talking about Standing figure and the Two Heads (Lappas' sculpture):
"..What is seen, (in that case the figure of a reclining person) is transformed and incorporated: a magical transformation of seeing into an act of bodily suction - the inverse of a birth -, a suction of the seen world into the body through the eyes performing as wombs."

Quoted from Leonkart, città del desidero, Centro Sociale Leoncavallo, Milano 1995, p.47.
