The last piece in the “Hurt Me” series illustrates the shared emotion between the two experiences: eating peppers and pain-play in the bedroom. I focused more on facial expressions in the last two pieces so here I decided to include the entire body. Eating peppers is a full body experience and I thought it was important to include. To combine the sexual component I included close up shots of the character’s mouth in a sensual way.
