[Artist's comments]Summarized
My wife's face and body
My wife's eyelids were burned and shredded, making her look monstrous. Her lips were swollen and protruding, like a monkey's. The skin over her whole body was speckled like a crab shell, and maggots were breeding in the wounds. I did my best, but she died on September 8.
