Executed on a large-scale canvas, Den depicts a group of wrestling women.
The surreal and angular perspective collapses the composition into a fictional space marked by narrative ambiguity. Below an industrial ventilation pipe, we glimpse at four intertwined figures dressed in sexy nightgowns. One’s manicured hand grabs another’s throat; two others hold hands, their fingers intertwined. It is impossible to tell these bodies apart. However, the scene’s lesbian appeal is betrayed by the figures’ bored facial expressions.
