The artwork depicts a variety of human figures lying on pillows, each portrayed in a private moment of emotional reflection. The image is composed entirely by hand, using the handwritten lyrics of Everybody Hurts by R.E.M., shaping every line and volume.
The work explores the universality of suffering — how solitude and pain, though deeply individual, become a shared human experience. In bed, stripped of roles and noise, we are all the same. The calligram becomes a visual space where text and image merge, giving form to the invisible.
