This piece reads as a dream image or mythic interlude within the Free City sequence: a nude female figure stands beside or confronts a bird-headed, serpent-bodied creature in a lush, peacock-haunted environment. Printed in a dense monochrome blue, the image has the soft, degraded texture of a reproduced collage or altered illustration, which gives it an oneiric, half-submerged quality. In the context of Free City, it seems less like an argument than an atmosphere piece, bringing together eroticism, metamorphosis, fantasy, and the decorative excess that runs through much of the project’s visual language.
