This piece reimagines Marilyn Monroe beyond the myth. The iconic beauty is stripped down to bone, colour, and raw emotion — a reminder that fame often eats people alive while the world keeps applauding. Her bright smile becomes a mask, her ribs exposed like a confession, her eye pierced yet still open to the light.
The explosive red background echoes the intensity of public adoration, and the chaotic palette mirrors the inner storms hidden behind the Hollywood glow. Here, Marilyn is not a symbol of perfection but a human being caught between desire, fragility, and the pressure to perform.
