This image depicts turbulent feelings The figure is screaming in agony. In the composition she is physically immobilized, yet she is floating, like her feeling, with no land base, which gives a sense of detachment from reality. Yet she is screaming?for help? Out of pain? Or, is she gasping for words to give voice to her suffering?
She is staring at you paralyzed with terror and dread, as if pleading for your help or mercy. Her figure reveals a dismayingly provocative posture that simultaneously acknowledges and stands in striking contrast to your indifference
