In Venezuela’s rural areas when someone fells sad, betrayed or angry about something is a common practice to sing a Tonada (Lullaby) to a cow using improvised lyrics and chords. Torment’s was a confession and a help offer to the viewers during COVID-19’s pandemic.
The drawings showcased children that looks at the viewer and tell them a phrase under it and the NAMI Chicago or the Lifeline phone numbers were the users of the artwork are free to tell them stories without being judged.
