After
her childhood sickness and nearly deadly accident, Frida was
always in pain, even when she made the smallest movement. For
Frida, her body was like a painful prison, so I painted her
as captured inside a hawthorn bush from which she couldn't escape.
The pain was as deep in her body as the roots of the hawthorn
bush in the earth, and the pain separated her from the rest
of the world. She always felt alone, and her only friend was
nature, shown here in the form of the moon and fireflies. |
