Hurt — Mixed media intervention by Papayon

“Hurt” is a visceral self-portrait of emotional implosion and transformation. What began as a monochrome lament evolved into a vivid eruption of pain, resilience, and rebirth. The face remains steady—tears like war paint—but the background explodes in colors once muted by sorrow. Layers of graffiti, neon notes, and scratched textures echo the inner dissonance of someone who feels too much and yet dares to keep feeling.

This piece is not about healing—yet. It’s about the beautiful mess in between: the cracked voice, the red eyes, the moment when anger, grief, and hope coexist. “Hurt” is a confrontation, a reckoning, a vow not to stay silent in pain.
