This mixed-media collage explores themes of desire, identity, and transformation through the juxtaposition of classical references and contemporary visual language. The composition is structured around a strong vertical axis, resembling a shrine or altar, which immediately evokes ideas of worship, ritual, and reverence. This architectural framework gives the work a sense of order that contrasts with the emotionally charged and fragmented imagery within. At the centre, a contorted nude figure appears enclosed within a triangular form, suggesting tension between protection and confinement. The body is marked with repeating motifs, blurring the boundary between skin, ornament, and symbolism.

Surrounding elements—flowers, butterflies, classical vessels, and fragments of Renaissance-style figures—create a surreal environment that merges the natural, the spiritual, and the erotic. The floral imagery softens the composition while also symbolising growth, fertility, and decay. Butterflies introduce ideas of metamorphosis and impermanence, reinforcing the theme of change.
