CHAOS

The painting sets on the floor and the viewer can watch it from two points of view.

The horizontal axis represents the temporality of the child's life that suddenly ended. With the vertical axis, the viewer can see the image of the mother affected by the loss of her child.

A traumatic experience is like a breaking that strikes mental activities up to sometimes reaching vital functions of the body. Here, I represent a disorganization that is similar to baby's distress, what Freud called Hilflosigkeit. Moreover, the mother may be overwhelmed by deadly drives, meaningless and without the possibility to turn to symbolic alleviation.

Human beings are dependent from their surroundings and constructions. When an unthinkable event happens, they may face a disorganization that creates an unbearable suffering. The spread of affects have the possibility to break psychic corporate envelops alongsite with the sensation of temporality.
