This mixed media painting captures Marilyn Monroe's charm and the challenges of her era. 36 lips symbolise kisses aimed at her, those she blew, pin-up appearance and her age at passing. The offset border evokes discomfort, comparable to feelings of deception. Flowers and mosaic backdrop represent the artist's identity.
