Waiting in Line to Taste My Heart - An Ode to Douchebags

12x16.5" unstretched* canvas.  Acrylic, charcoal, oil pastel.
 
Another piece from my "Toxic Relationships" mini series, this piece uses contrasting and primary colors to represent the enormous changes in mood that come from being psychologically and/or physically abused.  The squiggly faces represent the self doubt and internal/external changes in personality that occur when a victim is constantly gaslighted and manipulated.  There are also ominous shadows - an abstract screaming woman points towards the abusers and their selfish manipulation tactics used trap their victims, much like a spider maliciously spinning a web before it sucks it's prey dry.
