In Onion Fountain II, Kogachi returns to the same surreal, yet deeply personal iconography established Onion Fountain I, shifting the landscape into a distinctly autumnal register. The vibrant green leaves of Onion Fountain I have turned into deep shades of crimson, their rich red tones cascading down a network of bare branches, while five leaves have made their descent into the basin below. Amid the tranquil waters, several white onions bob, continuing Kogachi’s homage to Awaji-shima; her ancestral homeland celebrated across Japan for cultivating the sweetest onions.

The core composition mirrors Onion Fountain I , centered on a tiered fountain supported by sculpted seahorses and fed by a heart-shaped stone relief modelled after Kogachi, who in this painting spits a stream of water into the pond. Perched on the rim of the fountain's basin are two detailed pigeons, evocative of Claudia and her long-time partner Josephine. Pigeons are a personal favourite of Kogachi, owing to the fact that they are socially monogamous and mate for life, pigeons become symbols of enduring devotion, transforming a bird often overlooked and maligned into an emblem of never-ending love.
