She longed for and rejected intimacy at once, seeking her so-called <I>Man of Jasmine</I>, an idealized male figure, throughout her life while living as the partner of Hans Bellmer, noted artist and photographer. As her schizophrenia began to overtake her, she longed to make the woman she once was disappear into the nameless pronoun <I>She</I>.
