The artist's face is scattered with elements conveying sadness such as painted tears and graffiti around the eyes resembling bruising. The artist is humming the hymn “Amazing Grace” to enhance these individual elements, and as he does so, strikes his cheek with a plastic ruler to heighten the painful sound. Breath from his nostril makes the arms of the guitar player on his face as if he's playing melody with the guitar.
