The Point of Pain
"When we're in pain the localized place hurts but the entire body responds. We grow sweaty, our pupils dilate, our blood pressure shoots up. Oddly enough, the same thing happens when we're angry or scared. There is a deep emotional component to pain. If we're badly hurt, we might also be afraid." (Diane Akerman, 107-108)
Artist Response:
The Point of Pain is a very important part of our sense of touch not only does it provide an instant sense of where the pain is coming from it also gave your body a reaction to types of pain. Our body will react to pain quickly and our body will remember pain more often. The picture above is me pricking my finger with a needle this provided a sense of sharp pain and my body reacted on its own when I pushed the pin too far into my skin.
