Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.The painting features a striking and visually captivating figure rendered in a bold, expressive style. The colors are vibrant, with a predominant use of warm tones like oranges and pinks, contrasted by pops of green and black. The overall composition is dynamic, with the figure's long, flowing hair and contorted body creating a sense of movement and energy. The subject matter appears to depict a surreal, almost dreamlike vision, with the figure's distorted face and ambiguous expression adding to the artwork's enigmatic and symbolic nature.

B.1995, AmericanGisela McDaniel (b. Bellevue, NE 1995) is a diasporic, indigenous Chamorro artist. Her work is reflecting the journey of womxn and non-binary people who have survived sexual trauma.
