Description:
This speaks to emotional conditioning and survival. It acknowledges how repeated experiences shape tolerance, normalize dysfunction, and create comfort where there should be resistance. The painting does not judge this choice; instead, it bears witness to the quiet logic behind it—the human need for predictability, even at the cost of well-being.
