Large scale drawing on paper.  A giant figure stands knee deep in deep blue water that pools around her legs in ripples. The stars are coming out behind her in a charcoal colored sky. Her hair is two-toned in dark and light blue pigtails split down the middle, held up by yellow bones.  Her face is two-toned too, in dark and light browns that split halfway at the nose. She is sticking her bright pink wavy tongue from her mouth into a hole in her throat. Her torso disappears into the stars as she holds out two thick long arms palms up. One arm is midnight black with rainbows zig-zagging in and out of black holes. The other arm is stark white with drawings of rainbow bones and decapitated femme heads coughing up the sun. Her belly and thighs are dark brown and purpling brown, with doorways, roses, and rain.  Blue eyes pile up on the inside of her left leg.
