A revolt from within the canvas, the work denounces the eternal female punishment that is the act of musification*. It also commemorates the long period of the witch purges in Europe (1450-1750). It highlights how this dark chapter of history shapes our views on female sexuality and empowerment. It manifests itself as a casting spell that moves towards liberation.
