This piece "burnout" is done with ink on paper.
I chose this piece because I like the line work, and the meaning is something I can relate to.
In the picture we see a person slumped over a table, with a kind of smoke coming out of their head, we can't see where the smoke is going, or the person's face.
The piece is about burnout, Burnout is a form of exhaustion most often caused by lots of stress. The piece has taken the name of burnout at face value, as the person's head seems to be burning down, kind of like a candle

I wouldn't even have noticed the earth in a person's head if Jami hadn't mentioned it. That changes the whole way I see this piece. Stress may be paralyzing which can be seen in the picture. Considering the earth on fire and year 2019 (when this art piece was made), Burnout could tell about how the climate change is so stressful that people feel powerless against it.
