Catalpa Maiden About to Touch Herself

A colorful, abstract artwork depicting a human figure with a distorted face and body made up of various natural elements and patterns. The figure's hair is green and yellow, the face is orange with blue eyes, and the body and arms are adorned with leaf-like textures in shades of green, orange, and red. The figure appears to be holding their face with their hands in a playful manner. The background is a plain, off-white paper.
