SadnessA skeletal figure on the left sits in a contemplative, somber pose, its bony hand supporting its skull. From its downward turning face, a thick, layered, cascading blue flow emerges like tears that turn into an unstoppable river. This blue form becomes a powerful current that wraps around and shapes a central head.
