The figure's hands are drawn in oversized burgundy, with repetitive rippling lines surrounding them like pulsing pain. branch-like shapes continue up the arms and up the shoulders and into the cranium of the figure, resembling jagged tree branches, neurons, electricity, or something else. Parts of the legs are hatched, and the lungs and digestive tract are roughly drawn in with edgy angular shapes.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
