A mixed media on paper presenting a female figure gazing upon the viewer with a curious look. The eyes are made of crystals and their hair flows across the top part of the piece. They hold an ink pen in the right-hand squiggling lines across the surface. Five knifes are stabbed into the body’s shoulder blades and back, revealing a small amount of blood. Towards the hip a large, threedimensional rose takes shape.
