The artist uses the color white (as in "Depression is Invisible") to highlight his closed-eyed gaze. The dramatic centerpiece of the work lies in the tear falling from his right eye, revealing that sleep is not an inviolable refuge, but a vulnerable territory in which the artist continues to be overwhelmed by memories of the past, which give him no respite and prevent him from sleeping.
We can read in his gaze his solitude, sensitivity, and, despite everything, tranquility—the ability to remain calm even when he finds himself in the midst of a storm.
