Passion

Passion shows a butterfly that deceives the viewer's eye with the image of a headless woman. The perfect body captures the observer's attention and leads them into the illusion constructed by the butterfly's wings. The deceptive element is painted realistically, while reality is rendered in a more abstract way. The work thus reflects on passion as a seductive, ephemeral force devoid of true orientation. It is beautiful like a butterfly, yet fragile; intense like desire, yet senseless like a headless body; persuasive like a well-constructed image, yet fundamentally deceptive.
