The background of blueprint-like papers meticulously arranges a stage that highlights the portrait's vivid emergence. The visage, bathed in shades of blue, creates a cohesive colour story. The eyes draw us in, serving as an expressive centrepiece. The headdress surprises with natural elements, like an animal's image, contrasting with the urban backdrop, adding a profound layer to the narrative of nature entwined with human design."
