Original artwork, not a still
Mattie sat at the table, obsessing, orbiting around herself. She was sick of her worried, hostile mind. It would have killed her long before, she felt, if it hadn’t needed the transportation.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Mattie is trapped in anxious self-absorption, circling her own thoughts and tired of a mind that is fretful and hostile. The wry final image says that mind has not destroyed her only because it needs a body to carry it around, so her suffering is bleak but delivered with dark humour.
