Her distinctive style blends imaginative forms with dreamlike symbolism, inviting viewers into a realm that defies logical explanation. The title hints at the presence of unconventional, enigmatic life forms or phenomena, aligning with Varo’s focus on exploring the mysterious and fantastical aspects of existence through her technique and genre.
