Beyond the central figure, the surrounding elements in the artwork play an integral role in creating an ambiance of intrigue and curiosity. The background is a fusion of vibrant and contrasting colors, serving as a visual representation of the complexities and contradictions inherent in the human experience. This juxtaposition of light and dark hues symbolizes the duality of power, evoking a sense of awe and fascination in the viewer.
