Afflicted Type:8"x10" Print transforming pain into possibilityAfflicted is a portrait of release a skull at the edge of transformation, wrapped in deep shadow and streaked with vivid, bleeding red. Painted in watercolor by J. Brooke Wade, this emotionally charged piece explores what it means to break free from addiction, from grief, from toxic bonds and to emerge changed, but not destroyed. The skull, centered and expressive, is not silent. Its hollows pour out rich crimson washes, bleeding through the shadows
