A jagged crown of black verticals presses down like a barricade of charred timbers, while beneath it a nocturnal field releases drifting nudes and a winged figure caught between fall and flight. The composition cleaves into two psychological realms: a dense, earthen chiaroscuro where bodies coil in ambiguous shelter, and a paler, ruled plane marked by stains, text, and a window-like frame that cradles a head as if in specimen light. This tension between soot-dark intimacy and clinical illumination turns the scene into a meditation on the “life cycle” as both desire and erosion—creation arriving with bruises, memory, and the uneasy sense of being observed. The wing reads as a fragile promise rather than salvation, suggesting transcendence that is provisional, stitched together from vulnerability and matter.
