Description
I took the basic composition of Edvard Munch's very famous painting and widened it somewhat to put a figure in the background. I turned the figure in the foreground into a girl (instead of a boy).
The little girl has blonde hair and she is screaming. As suggested, she is screaming because she has been given the silent treatment. For those of you who are not in "the know", the silent treatment is abuse. When children are given the silent treatment by a parent it does untold damage, and at least a quarter of those children end up committing suicide. In a way, this painting is a protest and a call to awareness about this particular form of child abuse.
The original painting went with a blog post about the silent treatment: http://angry-alcoholics.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-silent-treatment.html
