From the ethereal frescoes to chilling engravings, these visual narratives capture the essence - the excruciating pain endured by both body and soul.

Her visage reflects profound spiritual devotion mingled with physical anguish, embodying the ultimate sacrifice for faith.

Amidst this kaleidoscope of desires lies an undercurrent - a reminder that indulgence often leads to its own form of torment. Travel across continents to Korea, where in 1811, a guilty woman faced unspeakable torture. This haunting image serves as a stark reminder that cruelty knows no boundaries or time periods; it is an ever-present specter lurking within humanity's darkest corners.

The piercing sound amplifies his shame while emphasizing society's unforgiving nature towards deceitful tongues.
