Description
This work registers a (some) compounded subject(s). The most apparent of them is a male figure with prodigious musculature facing the audiences. Some comic/animated description of another figure (or animal) dressed with cyan and red entangles the muscle man, which obscured both figures. The illegibility of the work comes further with the disturbed composition by the painted vertical strips. Those strips, speculating merely from the colors of them, may be the imagery excerpted from the original -- the undisturbed -- image. (Jerry Wu'23).
