"The Stigma"

"The Stigma" was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's iris paintings.

Van Gogh painted irises when he was hospitalized at the asylum in Saint-Remy, France. He wrote, “As for me, you must know I shouldn’t precisely have chosen madness if there had been another choice…. I am losing the vague dread, the fear of the thing, and little by little I can come to look upon madness as a disease like any other.”
