ABOUT THE ARTWORKS:
How does nobody see this!?!
Sometimes our pain (whether physical, mental or emotional) can feel so very profound - to the point where we feel like it has changed us forever - that it seems impossible to us that no one else sees it.

DESCRIPTION:
Invisible Pain
Slender, loose, white ribbon billows around a woman in front of a gray circuit board and wraps around her neck, arms, waist, and legs. The fine lines of the circuits are red, yellow and green and join various sized dots to create a geometric background. The lines meet at various colored dots. The graphic illustration styled woman faces us. Her complexion is white, as is her shoulder length hair and straight cut bangs. She is wide eyed and open mouthed with her arms extended in front of her palms out. She wears a turquoise blue, scoop neck, long sleeve top and matching blue tights with a sheer, knee-length orange shirt. Seen thru the skirt is the lower half her body from waist to knee. Her right side is pale brown and her left is pale yellow. Tiny circuits adorn her brown leg.
