Cherry Wine – Charcoal & Oil Pastel – Mugdha Basak

This illustration is a visualization of the song “cherry wine”, written and sung by Hozier. The lady in focus is holding on to her partner in the hope to rediscover her love lost in violence. The bruise on her eye alludes to the abuse inflicted on her. Her tears turned into sweet cherry wine serves as a metaphor for how her infatuation makes her believe that a few happy, seemingly perfect moments of her relationship are worth the abuse.
