That time I had enough suffering - it just doesn't taste the same anymore

This artwork serves as the counterpart to the broken door piece - "Swan Devouring her Sun". Against a vibrant red abstract backdrop, Ilunga's figure appears engaged in a visible struggle, her body blending and smudging into both the foreground and background. This intentional blurring creates intricate layers, portraying her body as fractured and fragmented.

The title, "That time I had enough suffering - it just doesn't taste the same anymore," suggests a transformative journey where the artist, Ilunga, contends with a shift in her relationship with suffering. The visible struggle in the artwork implies a critical point where the taste for suffering diminishes, prompting a change.

This piece is meant to be experienced in conjunction with "Swan Devouring her Sun." While the latter depicts Ilunga as Swan consuming a diminished version of herself, "That time I had enough suffering - it just doesn't taste the same anymore," serves as a response. Here, Swan is portrayed spitting out and consciously separating from neurosis, releasing what no longer serves her. The juxtaposition between the two artworks invites contemplation on the artist's evolving relationship with suffering and the transformative power of letting go.
