This painting works in a more fragile, flesh-like register, compared to others in the series. Here, the palette of soft pinks, violets, yellows, and greys evokes the skin of the canvas-body itself. It is tender, porous, and marked by stains or scars. The surface is textured with accreted layers that resemble both geological erosion and biological tissue.

By using acrylic on paper and canvas, the work emphasizes absorption and seepage, the way liquid material moves unpredictably, soaking into the paper’s fibers and then hardening into crust.

Conceptually, this painting suggests the threshold between life and decay. The surface vibrates between blooming (with its floral pinks and yellows) and decomposing (with its earthy browns and corrosive textures). This ambiguity resonates with the question of whether the boundary between the living and the non-living is as fixed as modern thought insists.
