"So love is blind," Sarah observed.
"Justice is also blind," Jason continued.
"Then all's fair in love..."
"That's a contradiction."
"Why?"
"You're saying that justice is anarchy."
"Was I? I was feeling a bit dreamy."
"Claire, YOU were feeling dreamy?"
"I suppose you can't imagine me feeling this way, but I feel a bit drunk with you."
"With me? Oh, here's the museum."
"Gabriel is a tattoo artist. He uses the human body as a canvas on which to tattoo his artworks," Jason observed.
Sarah looked around. Instead of canvases with artworks, there were Asian human bodies in different poses with tattooes on their bodies.
Jason was studying one tattoo of hermaphrodites with many colored hairs. They were floating on the air. They were all clustered together and there was a man drowning in their kisses and caresses. Underneathe them were clouds, then down the Ocean.
"Hello Jason," Gabriel greeted Jason, "And who is this?"
"Claire. Her name is Claire."
"What does this tattoo mean, Gabriel?" Sarah asked.
"The hermaphrodites are Greek prophetesses of the Goddess religion. They get their prophetic power from having sex with men and then eating them."
"Is that actually true?" Sarah asked.
"No," Gabriel smiled.
"Why this expanse of air and the clouds and the Ocean?" Jason asked.
"That's what he falls into and then he cannot breathe," Gabriel answered.
"Can I touch the human canvas?" asked Sarah.
"Yes."
Sarah touched the Asian body. It was so smooth and hairless. She could hear the body breathing. She looked into her eyes. There was almost no movement. Then Sarah touched her breast. She could feel the breathing change just slightly.
"Claire, be careful," Jason commented.
Sarah moved to another tattoo. Here, the Asian male was standing straight up with one knee bent slightly forward. On him was tattooed all that was inside of him... the bones, the veins, the organs, the muscles, and more.
"Don't touch his penis, Claire," Jason warned.
"I wasn't going to," Sarah answered.
"This is quite an amazing exhibit, Gabriel. Why did you start tattooing," Sarah asked.
"I wanted to express the dreams of individual human beings and it is the body that dreams so it is the perfect canvas for the dream."
