A stark silhouette dominates the center of this square composition, rendered in deep black against a pale background. The figure appears to be emerging or transforming, with dripping paint effects and splashes of red and blue energy-like forms emanating from its form. Two raised hands appear on either side, creating a sense of confrontation or supplication. The background has subtle blue tones and textural elements that suggest an otherworldly atmosphere. The painting's aggressive brushwork and color choices effectively convey the burning, cleansing implications of its title, while the figure's posture suggests both torment and transformation. Splashes and drips of paint add to the work's raw, visceral quality.
