from the essay: I felt like a ghost in my own home. That first night at home was awful. I couldn’t sleep lying down because it triggered fits of coughing, so I propped myself up on pillows.

The nightmares were relentless. 39" x 43" Acrylic and Oil Sticks on Canvas. (mockup for better experience) Primitive RE aka Sinisa Janjic
