“The Leather Scream”
Creative Reflection:
Munch’s paintings are melancholic, expressing the pain and helplessness of his tragic life.
For most modern people, The Scream carries a hint of pretension and powerless rage.
We shout for change but can’t shake procrastination,
we appear absurd in our self-satisfied preachings.
We are accustomed to comparison,
wanting to lie down but refusing to be mediocre,
wanting to strive yet feeling helpless,
and so we exhaust ourselves with self-inflicted torment.
Those so-called pains,
are nothing but emotions wreaking havoc, pretending to scream louder.

Quote by Edvard Munch:
“I was walking with two friends in the evening, as the sun set. I felt a faint sadness. Suddenly, the sky turned blood red. I stopped, leaned against the railing, exhausted. I looked at the burning clouds, blood-red, like a sword, hanging over the blue-black fjord and city. My friends kept walking, but I stopped, trembling with unease. I suddenly felt a powerful, endless scream pierce the universe.”
— Edvard Munch
