Sinister red botanicals and butterflies crown the profile of a female subject, petals cascading from her ears in reference to the three wise monkeys of Toshogu Shrine. Her distressed acrylic profile appears against glossy resin, framed by deep blue waves and a silent, introspective gaze. The composition draws on Buddhist wisdom—advocating a conscious refusal to engage in gossip or divisiveness.
