[The benefit of the art room is that it draws Esther into herself; she doesn't have to pretend as much, when creating something. Setting up an easel is much simpler and just as comforting as setting up a lie. She doesn't even have to hide her subject matter anymore; the days of painting lions and houses and flowers are over, and she can freely put her fantasies on the paper.
This piece is a nude woman, viewed from behind. Her peach-colored flesh is stark in a black background, and Esther has begun to knit the two colors together. She adds burns to the woman's legs and hips, adding highlights to the injuries as she lays down flames engulfing the model. Esther isn't sure who the woman is, but despite the ease with which she holds herself, she's burning.
She is so invested in painting that she doesn't even hear Needy come up behind her. Her first hint that anyone is there is her greeting, and Esther stiffens almost imperceptibly before turning wide, innocent eyes to her.]
