Description
Confusion is a fusionist painting from the late 1980s. There's a story to the painting. The face is a fantasy, but some remarked that it very much resembled a mutual friend, and I agreed. Shortly after, our mutual friend commited suicide, and I went to his funeral. I was surprised to see so many I didn't know in the crowded chapel. Suddenly I realised this was the wrong funeral. I silently left the wrong funeral, and found that the funeral of my friend took place in a small ceremony room in the basement of the chapel. Present was the priest, and only seven friends of the dead, sitting around his coffin. This was a person in his thirties, raised in a religious sect. Because he earlier had left the sect, neither his parents nor his siblings or other relatives attended the funeral of this really nice, but oh so confused, guy.

This painting grabbed me. I knew. I scrolled down, read the description, and cried--for a man who died before I was born. Thank you.
