The woman, spread eagle, claws at herself and is orbited by butterflies. A lightning storm behind her suggests the life force of the universe she inhabits. Her hat holds a western star reading “Runaway Animal Girl,” a name we are unsure whether she has given to herself or been prescribed. It is unclear whether she is in a state of rapture or in a state of crisis.
