"Le Cas..." plays off the meanings of the word case, either as an "instance or matter" (the literal French meaning), or the English homo-nym to mean an object in which to place, put, carry or store something.
"Le Cas..." contains mysterious, minia-ture vials and bottles filled with various powders, and liquids.
Are they filled with perfume and cos-metics, or poisons?
What is the relationship of the two women in the photographs to the possessor of this case--relatives, friends, lovers, or victims? Is one a photograph of the owner of the case?
Does the owner have a case of a guilty conscience? If so, of what?
