Silicea artist description and
symbolic rendition
Large
eye at the top of the picture shows a plugged tear duct which is a common
problem. The subject is also shown
imagining sharp, pointy objects flying towards her
because of a neurotic fear of these types
of objects, which seem to be on the mind
constantly. The hat and scarf are shown to
demonstrate the need to have the head
covered or wrapped always.
The
character within her mind is sad, crying while looking in a mirror, low self esteem.
On
the face and neck you can see veins, boils, and a scar which shows weakness and
frailty of the flesh and an inability to
fully heal. It also shows that the skin is often
translucent enough to see the veins. The
lightning bolts over the subject’s ear area
show the susceptibility to earaches and
infections.
The
hands and feet are shown with icicles hanging off them because they are often
extremely cold. The feet are also shown with
sweat coming off to them as well as odor
lines because, despite the cold the feet,
they sweat often and are extremely smelly.
The
word change is shown crossed out because the subject fears new thing, ideas, or
change. A curved spine is shown to represent scoliosis.
