Could also be called, “The Weight of Chronic Disease” because that’s how I immediately processed it in my brain. Oh, look, that looks like a representation of how I feel. There is the mental weight of the grief over not having the life you had & then the physical feeling of weight and deep fatigue.

Our society judges feelings, "you're too sensitive, you're too caring, you're too angry," etc., and praises thinking, "I'm going to blow up that country." Don't Cry Out Loud by Malissa Manchester was a good song.

Not to tell an artist how to do their art - but ok I'm about to do exactly that - I feel like the sculpture would read better if the rocks used in the legs were a darker shade than those in the arms and hands - similarly if the torso rocks were a discernible shade different from the arms and legs
