To Marquez: It’s a calla lily, a photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe, who died that year (1989) around the time The Burning World was released. Actually, the symbolism could be erotic or pornographic, it’s not that innocent as it seems. Nothing unusual in Mapplethorpe’s work, and as far as I know, the calla was a symbol of the female genitalia in Art Nouveau, or later.
