46" X 36" (Medium: Oil / Spray Paint)
A striking red figure rises from a pool—his body marked, scarred, and unapologetically exposed. Though not the central focus, his presence commands attention, representing the overlooked truths hidden behind curated desire. His beauty is undeniable, yet it is the imperfections—often blurred out in adult film imagery—that give him depth, humanity, and power. This painting is a message on what is edited out, on the unseen narratives behind erotic consumption. What is the cost of being desired?
