About the work
From a series of drawings of different plagues visited on the human body, this one refers to pain and the difficulty of pins and needles caused by peripheral neuropathy, showing the figure walking with difficulty.
The plagues were drawn from March 2020 until mid-November, reflecting the uncertainty of the times and the revenge of nature on humans.
