Triptych “Veil, Brothers, and Playing with a Charred Head”

This triptych is an exploration of sadism intertwined with themes of redemption and transformation. The composition features a hermaphrodite, face shrouded in a diaphanous veil, a boy engaging with a serpent, and Siamese twins set against a backdrop adorned with numerous golden heads.
These figures symbolize various phases of ithyphallic expression and the metamorphosis of psychological states through the lens of physicality and gender. The artwork delves into the complexities of identity and transformation, employing corporeal imagery to convey deeper insights into the human condition. The visual narrative articulates the interplay of forgiveness, punishment, and the evolution of self in a meticulously layered tableau
