This artwork depicts a woman, bound to a wall by intricate ropes, symbolizing the internal struggles associated with anxiety and depression. The composition draws parallels to crucifixion imagery, highlighting the weight of emotional burdens. These ropes, embellished with elements evoking both religious symbolism and sensual desire, reflect the diverse paths individuals may turn to for solace during times of turmoil, showcasing the intricate interplay between spirituality and earthly desires as coping mechanisms for the human soul in distress.
