In Greek mythology, Kakia was a demon who personified vice and evil moral. Horrible and tempting, It was looking for people's inclination towards the bad and perverse. With its form, almost anthropomorphic with strings, she is telling us that his will is not done, calming the temptation it represents.
Our image reflected in the sculpture invites us to an íintimate and personal reflection. The polished bronze shows the viewer his own reflex, ending abducted by his presence, hypnotized before his power of seduction.
Kakia appears as an antagonist of another sculpture: Muse. Thus, the purity of on contrasts with the grotesque of the other.
