Work For What You Love to Do and I Will Watch Right Over You

Based on the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, where Pygmalion is a disillusioned sculptor that makes his perfect partner out of clay and the sculpture eventually comes to life. Hannibal takes up sculpting and decides to create someone that won’t get on his nerves; he treats his sculpture kindly and not unlike a living, breathing person, calling it ‘darling’ and ‘lovely’ and reading beside it in the evening. A few months after Hannibal finishes his sculpture, he is shocked to find it missing; in its place, he instead discovers a confused, naked young man bearing a surprising resemblance to his artwork.
