The extreme close-up of a woman's mouth, her tongue provocatively protruding, becomes the composition's focal point. The milky pallor of her skin, accentuating her soft, protruding lips, imparts an ethereal quality to the piece. In a strikingly surreal act, a white rabbit, often symbolizing purity and innocence, is depicted drinking milk from the woman's tongue. This whimsical, unexpected element defies conventional norms, drawing viewers into a dreamlike realm where reality's boundaries blur, contrasting starkly with the sensuous human form. Foregrounded by a blur of white, unsharp fluff, the scene gains depth and texture, serving as a visual bridge that guides the eye to this central, intimate interaction. This choice of blurred foreground focuses attention on the main subjects, enhancing the sense of intimacy and immediacy. Echoing the surrealists' fascination with the subconscious and dream imagery, this work also addresses contemporary themes, challenging viewers to reassess the relationship between nature and humanity, the real and the imagined. It represents a bold commentary on the fluidity of boundaries – both physical and metaphorical – inviting a contemplative and nuanced interpretation from its audience.

The focus of ARTURUTRA is mouths. Yet these fragmented bodies do not conform to classical portraits. They often resemble staged still lifes. The works are characterized by a narrative ambiguity. The viewer sees and must fill in the missing elements themselves. Perhaps they view with the eyes constantly absent in the works. Then, the depicted mouths speak with the inner voice of the observer.
