February 24, 2021 2:55pm Given the world's present crisis, I have to read this in a more specific light. Generally, sorrow. But surely, this has to be lockdown loneliness. The hands lock the figure ... the head the genitals. That lower hand isn't there for coyness. it is there to register what is lost. Almost a castration. And the upper hand is where a hand would be during a headache. Add the facial expression to this -- the sum is greater than its parts. Gestalt. Superb.
