Description
Anguish is an expressive painting by Amy E. Fraser. Anguish depicts a young woman who is symbolically caged in her bed due to the severe pain of Endometriosis.
Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining of the pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs. Endometriosis can cause pain (sometimes severe) especially during menstrual periods. Fertility problems also may develop.
Anguish was completed in an Expressionistic style in order to best describe the physical and emotional turmoil of Endometriosis. Expressionism refers to an "artistic style in which the artist seeks to depict not objective reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse within a person." Expressionist art conveys emotion and meaning rather than reality. In order to express emotion, subjects are often distorted or exaggerated, and colors are often vivid and shocking. Expressionism encompasses varying stylistic approaches that emphasize intense personal expression and often dark emotion.
