The Embrace of Despair

   In Spain, physical pain and emotional states such as shock, sadness, grief, melancholy, and depression are considered to lie within the same conceptual domain. These terms are used to describe both psychological and physical conditions, and the boundaries between them are often unclear. Although the word dolor (pain) is commonly used to refer to human suffering, its meaning extends beyond these boundaries.

All of the Spanish philosopher Unamuno’s philosophy is influenced by this concept. The term “Embrace of Despair” is a word that Unamuno adopted from Descartes’ concept of doubt.

This collection of late-stage drawing was developed from the feeling of anguish, offering people an opportunity to see one another in darkness.
