The Undying Pain of Existence

Oscar Jacobson

The Undying Pain of Existence

GERMANY ● 2025 ● 6' ● M/12 ● 2D digital

A nude model is posing with statuesque stillness for an elite drawing class – until an unfortunate mosquito bite challenges his self-control. Driven to madness by the itch, he’s caught between the ruthless demand for perfection and his most unhinged, animalistic impulses.
