A scene with various, shifting imagery printed in black on a gradient that shifts from bright red at the bottom to bright green at top

Various imagery is hand printed in black onto a background that shifts from intense red at bottom, to white at center, and bright green in the top third. The images center around the frontal view of a nude woman at center, facing us. She appears standing on the seat of a wooden chair, only as tall as the chair’s back. The left and right sides are each dominated by a partial view of monstrous humanoid figures with outstretched claws and skeletal ribs. The top third is a face made of a mosaic of irregular shapes. The face is flanked by a moon in the top left corner, and a sun at top right.
