Description
"Feel no glory. Feel no pain."The sacrificial lamb is a symbol of innocence and suffering for the greater good. As someone who struggled with depression, this metaphor manifested into my way of survival. I aimed to capture how beautiful and broken it felt to spill my blood on the altar in exchange for another's happiness.

You've captured your feelings entirely. There's so much feeling expressed in this painting, yet her eyes seem so empty. The lack of color also adds to the overall message. This is fucking fantastic.

This would make a magnificent inlay on granite or marble. You captured so much emotion.
