Description
This intricate artwork features a striking depiction of a mythical creature against a textured, ethereal background. The composition is dominated by a central figure resembling a hybrid of human and beast, rendered in shades of beige and gray that accentuate the work's antiqued appearance.

Candice Lin
B.1979, AmericanCandice Lin works among multidisciplinary media, such as sculpture and video, which explores complex themes of cultural, gender, and racial disparities, uncontrolled sexualities, and non-normative behavior.
