Idealized, romanticized and narcissistic self portrait inspired by the early surrealists' embodiment of heralding de Sade as the quintessential 'surrealist man' in that he was and represented the complete antithesis of society and morality. When one has no one around them to receive love or confirmation one must often resort to doing so himself.
