This work explores desire as an instinct that constantly searches for entry points into the body, the mind, and human relationships. The serpents symbolize temptation, intimacy, and the uncontrollable flow of desire embedded in everyday life. Desire can become a source of growth and motivation, yet it can also evolve into greed and obsession. The work reflects the tension between craving and resisting desire, revealing the psychological contradictions hidden within human nature. Through vivid colors and simplified forms, I soften the boundary between humor and discomfort, allowing desire to appear both playful and unsettling at the same time.
