Description Though the figure is not me, I've focused on the concept of something that I, for one, have certainly found myself in many times in the past:

Stress gets to you, depression gets to you; anxiety, confusion, anger and most of all, hatred get to you towards those that are you meant to get along with and/or love. You can't help but feel this way, you want to attack them for what they have done, yet you can't because you love them too much to do so. It all comes down to a split decision - bottle it up and let the pain eat away at you and your soul, or let it out not knowing how it will come out and what will happen in the process.

Pain as a general feeling does not only affect someone inside directly, but it affects those around you indirectly, because in personal perspective, they are blind to their own faults and/or causes. This was a simple abstract portrait adapted and influenced by Picasso's lesser-known and smaller-sized portrait works.
