DESCRIPTION: Introducing a unique piece of artwork that will captivate your attention and leave you in awe of its creativity and uniqueness. This painting, featuring a woman wearing a striped shirt, has a twist that will have you questioning the meaning behind the artwork. As you take a closer look, you notice that the artist has replaced the woman's face with a scene of grasslands, teeming with an abundance of bug life. The insects seem to be thriving in the wild, untamed environment, which is reminiscent of Africa, particularly Tanzania. We observe moths taking a rest in the grasslands that bear a resemblance to the renowned black witch moths. The black witch moth (Ascalapha odorata) is a large, dark-colored moth that is found in various regions of the world, including Tanzania. In Tanzania, the black witch moth is sometimes referred to as "the bird of death" or "the bat of death" due to its large size and dark coloration, which some people associate with death and the supernatural.
