"From darkness and obscurity,
from sleep and from the smoke of clouds — elements that since the time of the Odyssey represent the manifestation of the mystical and the incomprehensible — emerge the faces of the goddesses.
Everything exists through them, for them, in that single eternal moment of action."

Salvi’s crafted dream, more in line with the 19th-century fanciful idea of the Middle East, is an implicit critique of the dehumanizing and sexualized gaze of men towards women: the exhausted and drowsy young women are the objects of the observer’s gaze, as well as that of fictitious painted characters.
​
Both gazes rest on the exposed bodies of the girls—like objects of desire—in their moment of greatest privacy and vulnerability, and it seems that these women are aware of it and almost resigned.
