Backache

This is a simple painting depicting an area of human body affected by pain.

The portion marked by various patterns show the inner turmoil of muscles and nerves trying to cope with the constant stress they are under.

It felt quite amusing to assimilate particular patterns to an abstract feeling of 'pain' which although has a physical or concrete existence in our bodies. In a way it was also a form of releasing that feeling from within myself.

The patterns in the background fill the environment with anguish and fatigue.
