☛ Description
It is a painting. Subject matter in this picture is one woman, maybe herself. Behind her is a scattered dessert and stormy sky. The lines are curvy; the shapes are organic; textures are bumpy. Dominant colors are yellow and black.
☛ Analysis
She is in front view and almost symmetrical and balanced except her skirt. Dominant colors are yellow and black, which are dull and dark. It used shading and shadows which give a sense of three dimensions. She is in the foreground, the dessert in middle and the sky in background.
☛ Technique
It is painted on canvas by oil using brushes with blended strokes. It seems that she made a plan before starting to paint. She might have looked at herself in the glass and thought how to draw.
☛ Interpretation
We rename this picture as ‘the broken heart.’ We can feel her physical and mental pains from many nails stuck into her body and her tears. Dominant colors make us feel sad and depressed. The dark yellow and black desert give us a sense of isolation and loss. But we also find the hope from white doves in her pupils. The main theme of it is about her painful life and hope. It shows her strong will to live despite her pain.
☛ Judgement
The painting isn’t representational like picture. We cannot see a column in our bodies. It is not real and abstract one. It expresses her pain, sadness and hope. (She got more than thirty times of surgeries and could not have a baby. The larger nail piercing her heart represents the emotional pain caused by Diego, her husband.) Many group of people or institution that would appreciate this painting the most because her strong will for life and positive mind show us how little woman overcome the obstacles in her life.

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” – St. Augustine
“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” – Lin Yutang
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
“Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” – Mark Jenkins
