During therapy with Kit Balane, I started depicting myself in art as ill, ugly and dying. When I finally terminated therapy, I was never so broken in my entire life before.

The woman has a distressed appearance while dancing with a large brown pig. The pig is probably male and has fourteen teats. The woman has green fingernails, green lips and yellow skin because she is ill. The background shows the Chocolate Hills of Bohol. There are swirls of clouds in the sky and dark areas indicating rain. Above the woman and the pig are the branches of an Egg Fruit tree. Small stalks bearing individual young fruits are visible. The young fruits indicate the summer season.
