Oil painting of two pale nude women in red high-heeled shoes crouching among rows of hanging meat, with an older woman in a red headscarf sorting meat scraps in the lower left corner, painted in tones of pink, red, and cream.

I painted the whole room the color of raw meat and put two women right in the middle of it, undressed, propped on their heels like they're on display. Down in the corner an older woman keeps working, sorting through scraps while the two of them get looked over. I wanted the pink and red to swallow everything, so the eye can't quite tell the meat from the flesh.
