About this work

This painting shows a strange, mixed-up figure with a human head and a giant, hairy body. The head is cracked open, with blood dripping down. The figure’s legs are long and skinny, wearing high heels, and its arms end in claw-like hands. Around it, there’s a messy mix of grass, bugs, and other odd shapes—some look like faces or animals. The artist used cut-out paper, stickers, and paint to create this wild collage. Everything feels glued together in a chaotic, dreamlike way. If you like this, check out Wangechi Mutu.
