Overwhelmed shows a person slowly disappearing because they are frozen by overwhelm. The white body and smoky edges make the figure look empty and partly transparent. The black tears show that it knows what is happening. I used only black, white, and gray acrylic paint. The hardest part was making the body look transparent without losing the pose completely.
