The Muse — Cover

The Muse

A silver-haired sovereign holds her own severed head beneath a Gothic arch. Staged against dark paneled wood and clad in voluminous fur and mesh, the portrait merges baroque opulence with surrealist provocation, then shifts to a fog-shrouded winter forest where three witches preside over a ritual tableau. Age is neither softened nor explained—it is wielded as mythic authority, unsettling and absolute.
