Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the composition weaves together references to Black Rock City, kink culture, sensory play and the natural world, alongside nods to iconic works including Francisco de Goya's La Maja Desnuda. Much like Bosch's celebrated triptych, the piece rewards close inspection, with interconnected scenes and hidden details gradually revealing themselves.
