An artwork portrays body pain as a raw and expressive form of self-expression, capturing the depths of human suffering. In a conceptual artwork, lower back pain is depicted as an abstract storm brewing within one's core, symbolizing the hidden battles we face. The weight of the world weighs heavily on our shoulders in an upper back pain conceptual artwork, reminding us of the burdens we carry silently.
