Visual description of the image above:

A woman lies vertically on a black background, with a garden like flowering from her stomach of roses, a white speckled egg in a nest, a cluster of purple ocean flora and fauna, a starfish, several strange, alien like internal organs, with flowers and mushrooms underneath her and a small bird perched atop her cheek.
