Hieraconism 3, by Gerwell.
If this looks weird, it’s because it reverses a centuries-old convention of art - the snow-white lady and her dark-skinned ladies-in-waiting. Hell, I’m aware of that racist convention, and this picture looks weird even to me. It’s also strikingly beautiful (I think the artist may have goldfish in mind) and a little frightening. I could never be the imperious figure at the centre, only one of her fleshy pink admirers - and she has more important things to think about; they’re taken for granted. Perhaps this is a small taste of what that perpetual visual exclusion is like.
Now imagine that this is everywhere but when you point it out, you’re seen as jealous and paranoid.
