This art takes place on a thick slab of bent wood. On it is painted a woman’s melancholy face. She has dark curly hair that stops at her ears, dark eyes, and a burgundy blouse. Her face holds a saddened expression as her eyes look off into the distance. She is wearing round gold earrings.

A painting of nature that is crumpled and destroyed. It has holes and debris on the floor, the canvas is frayed and it’s beauty is tarnished.
