By: Frida Kahlo

 In this painting we see an abnormal self portrait of Frida. Here she has thorns choking her around her neck and you can also see droplets of good coming through the punctures. She also included a monkey and a black cat behind with a hummingbird hanging from the thorns around her neck. Her facial expression is blank almost as if she’s enduring the pain. Black cats can signify bad luck sometimes and maybe she included it because of her life story and she hasn’t really lived a happy life.
