Medicine Person

This image features an abstract painting with a red stick figure on the right side, appearing to push against a large grey shape with black outlines that resemble branches or roots. To the left, there is a smaller black figure with spiky outlines, possibly representing a sun or another abstract element. The background is white with sporadic strokes of red and yellow, and the artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner.
