The giant collapsing figure of the ‘Sexual Attraction’ standing on the shore and supported by supports is a not very pleasant sight, a ‘sexy nightmare’ – a more suitable name for this collection of parts of the human body, loosely attached to a torso twisted from bags and torn packaging.
The head of the figure merges with the rocks into a typical double image for Dali, and amputated and torn limbs allude to the act of cannibalism that happened here, a motif in the artist’s subconscious always closely related to sex.
According to the author’s explanation, the boy in a sailor’s suit – himself Dali at the age of six, he holds a hoop in one hand, and in the other – a petrified penis. This same figure will appear after thirty-five years in the ‘Hallucinogenic Toreador’. The bay is a real place next to Kadak, which Dali probably knew from childhood.
