About the artwork

Clasped hands and eyes of wallowing deepness- the image depicted is one of striking and hair raising emotion. The vulnerability of the subject is palpable and the viewer is drawn into her eyes, searching the sadness and desolate expanses for explanation and meaning. The viewer is immediately connected to the subject and drawn into her emotional state- the title adding more intrigue to what her state could mean. The pink hues add to the intrigue as the give off the appearance of bruises- adding more stipulation to the possible meaning of the title. Her clasped hands signify both deep thought and pleading, rendering her form as one that seems to be beseeching the viewer for answers or help. The piece is moving and altogether remarkable in its evocative nature.
