Ilunga's depiction of Ganymede, one of Jupiter's largest moons, is a reflection of her fascination with Jupiter, which is known for its abundance, knowledge, and expansion. She chose to portray Ganymede in heat, suggesting that moons, like many earthly flora and fauna, have seasonal phases of sexual maturity. The painting is a metaphor for the bleeding and distortion of expansion, knowledge, and abundance. The abstract creatures and intricate details offer a platform for imagination to run wild, creating and dismantling imagery as soon as it is recognized. The powerful gravitational forces between neighbouring moons in orbit are evident in the painting, capturing the moment just before Ganymede reaches its boiling point.
