This work was born out of the deep helplessness and pain I felt inside. The backbone that keeps a person standing is lying here on the ground; because I have no strength left for anything. My protruding ribs symbolize not physical weakness, but the helplessness I’ve been experiencing, which is consuming me. The earth, on the other hand, shows that a person’s soul can die even while they are still alive; the body gradually merges with the earth and buries itself alive in the darkness.
