For this picture, the American artist Joseph Meloy uses a particular medium technique and a wide variety of symbolic elements to depict a strongly mystical event.

With the help of collages and grisaille painting it appears as if it were an old photography. It is precisely this play with stylization and realism that makes this work look almost grotesque - the Botticelli figures were cut out, glued on, and placed in the same constellation, but with a different meaning. There are no more rose flowers floating around Venus, but pizza slices and banknotes: a clear indication of human denigration, and at the same time, stand as a memento mori symbol.

The African masks, also have a significantly gloomy effect: a close connection to tribal art is created and thus a desire to point to a kind of sinister initiation ceremony.
