About the Artwork
This artwork captures the violent stillness of persecution through a striking black-and-white composition. A central female figure stands bound, engulfed in jagged strokes of white paint that rise like flames. Her expression is solemn, eyes closed, exuding a haunting calm amid surrounding chaos, which suggests resignation and being on the verge of giving up.
Inspired by the Salem Witch Trials in 1962, the female figure is burned at the stake, similar to women in the past who were not proven guilty and yet were killed by fire. Women convicted of witchcraft were traditionally executed by being burned at the stake (Abbot, 2007).
Dark, stark contrasts with heavy use of black, and sharp white highlights evoke a poignant, intense feeling. The glow and surrounding energy focus on a woman, adding mystique and sorrow.
