Artwork Description

Crime

0.0 x 0.0

The scene after a crime : a torn female torso with a torn dress, the victim. The offender , a black man with a hood running away. Maybe the face on his back is his own face, looking back in sorrow forever. Perhaps the eye looking through a layer of the exfoliating rind is her eye, symbolizing her enduring consciousness after death... The contents is supported by formal elements: the contrast of decay (torn dress, dissolving body, exfoliating rind ) and of life (a face and an eye) and by the contrast of light and dark colours.
