Description

The painstar comes every thousand years, and when you touch it, you experience a second of unfathomable pain. And then it's gone. I think everyone has their own personal painstar, and this print is a depiction of mine; the sudden feeling of haunting memories. The wolf stands in a cathedral window, where the light shining through should mean hope. Why does it hurt him so much? [This piece is a bit of a homage to Car Seat Headrest's album Twin Fantasy, referencing the painstar.]
