At the forefront of the composition, a vibrant bird symbolizes freedom and transcendence, soaring through a spectrum of colors that evoke feelings of liberation and joy.

Beneath the bird, a striking depiction of a woman riding a man captures a moment of passionate connection, conveying themes of empowerment and mutual desire.

The layering of these elements creates a dynamic interplay, encouraging viewers to peel back each layer and discover the underlying themes of liberation, empowerment, and intimacy.

"Layers of Desire" serves as a bold statement on the complexity of human relationships, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions of love, intimacy, and freedom.
