A painting that cries and will one day release itself.
The rock weight is threaded through eyelets within the frame and is pulling a pink salt crystal into the concaved canvas.
The salt pulls moisture from the air and drips salt water down the face of the surface.
Each tear results in a smaller piece of salt.
One day, the salt will vanish, the rock will drop to the ground, and the canvas will flatten to it's natural state.
Leucine Enkephalin: The body's natural pain killer, found in higher concentration within 'emotional' tears. A suggestion that tears play a biological role in balancing stress hormones.
