A limbless body adorned or restrained with a metal chain on which two scapulars are attached. They show a portrait and a Xanax pill. Many Christians in Mexico wear escapularios to protect themselves. The idea for the work was born a few months after the break-up of the love affair and deals with the feeling of continued captivity, but also with the traumatic experience of a painful operation.
