Women have experienced the sensation of being bound throughout the ages. Often seen as a form of torture and a way to oppress, women have learned to use bondage to their advantage. Pleasure through pain is nothing new, but that some women cower while others defy is something that only she can explain.

In Words Have No Wings birds play a prominent role — their restless nature and need for order, their need for boundless sky and secure resting places. The birds are in flight as they have escaped, but ironically, they are caught in a whirlwind created by their own flight.
