Bold colors present an almost tropical landscape that hints toward Paul Gauguin. The baby perches unbothered atop a rock pile that stands-in for fertility altars and wears a headdress modeled on those depicted on the Buddha. The titular baby and graffiti besmirched rock stand out starkly against a somewhat flattened background, while the landscape bleeds out toward viewers, mixing with the underpaint, a signature of the artist in this series.
