“A Snake on the Couch” is a surreal exploration of comfort, danger, and the paradox of beauty in toxicity. A bright blue vintage sofa, draped in fluid silk with two pink iridescent pillows, stands as a symbol of material security. The glass-legged couch rests beneath an otherworldly canopy of oversized begonia flowers, their vibrant colors and intricate patterns symbolizing money, resourcefulness, and growth.

The background blends seamlessly—a glowing orange sky melting into a reflective water surface, where a distant sunset marks the horizon. Yet, amidst this dreamlike serenity, danger lurks: a glass-bodied snake, draped effortlessly over the upper part of the sofa, its translucent form revealing glimpses of the fabric beneath. The snake’s gaze is fixed on a frog sitting beside the couch—a symbol of innocence, liability, and the fruit of labor.

This artwork reflects the unsettling reality of welcoming toxicity into safe spaces—knowing something is destructive yet finding it too alluring to remove. The snake embodies hidden dangers and self-destruction, resting within a place of supposed comfort. It is both mesmerizing and menacing, a reminder that sometimes, the things we embrace most closely can quietly unravel us from within.
