This painting reflects the emotional turmoil Kurt experienced after his parents’ divorce. At the age of nine, just a week before his birthday, his mother announced her decision to divorce his father. The visual composition echoes Kurt’s response to this life-altering event, focusing on his withdrawal into solitude. The central image shows a young Kurt, eyes wide with vulnerability, standing in the shadowy refuge of his closet—a place he would retreat to during this difficult time. The surrounding images, rendered in a comic book style, are a deliberate nod to Kurt’s passion for drawing comics, which became an outlet for his emotions.
