Still one of my favourite pieces. The hopelessness and the quiet, calm surrender of the figure really resonates with parts of my life. It is like looking back to a caption of my soul where and when I felt everything was in vain and all things were utterly pointless. In a sense, utter hopelessness can give one a strange sense of freedom beside making one utterly miserable. The world beyond has faded into insignificance. The main figure is taken out of a symmetric composition to increase the feeling of uneasiness. The unnatural blue colour is a bit on the nose representing the “feeling blue” English expression, but I liked blue too much for this concept to use anything else.
