This graphic representation of suffering serves as a channel to express a feeling of helplessness in the face of pain. In this painting the artist, although extremely close to his tools of expressions, is unable to create anything because his hands are held outside of the field of view by the constrains of pain. The cracks in the skull spell the word “PAIN”. Tendonitis, migraine headaches and unfulfilling jobs were a few of the pains that moved the artist to create this piece.
