Gouache and color pencil on paper

Two mirroring large scale drawings on paper. Two giant femme figures face each other as they ride into swelling waves of bones. On the right the ocean of bones are colored in pale yellows, browns and purples. The colors of the giant riding the waves are saturated fluorescent browns and electric blues. Her arms are up in the air, losing gravity, and her nails arch towards a cartoon sun and cosmic egg with night time, rainbow, uroboros, and alchemical elements.  A sky body with long pigtails arches over the egg. To the left this image is mirrored, with an atlantic blue starry sky. The left giant is painted in deep magentas and fluorescent blacks. The ocean of bones is colored in grays. Both of their mouths open towards the sky, showing teeth and tongue.
