NEVER TRUST ME

The painting depicts a visage of a character, long of face and with eyes wide and lips of a hue akin to the pink of a parrot. Against a background of striking contrast, orange and green, the sharp lines in black accentuate the expression of pain and suffering etched upon the character's countenance, as if in a state of agitation and questioning why fate has dealt such a cruel hand. The character's astonishment is palpable, and the tale the painting tells is one of a life fraught with pain. But this painting is not simply a reflection of the character's suffering alone. It is also a mirror held up to the societal behaviors and sentiments that impact individual lives. It serves as a haunting reminder of the desperation that plagues our society, a reminder that resonates with all who have ever felt the weight of hopelessness upon their shoulders.
