Another bit of the book that stuck with me was the dispassionate way Jean-baptiste discards the bodies of his victims having savoured every last drop of their scent. There is a deliberate comparison between the worthless pulp at the bottom of the alembic and what is left of the women after he has finished.With this image i wanted to make a visual comparison between an empty husk and the bodies of the victims, as if what was valuable had been extracted, leaving behind only waste.
