Artist notes: Title: 'Migraine Madness'. 'The drawings show the stages of my migraine attacks; Firstly a slight disturbance occurs (1) until the attack reaches its 'peak' (5). After the attack visibility is still limited due to a 'mist' that occurs. My average attack lasts about three days, resulting in a penetrating headache. The tree in my drawings depicts disturbance on any objects.
