In "The Hanged Man," Isabel Ferrer confronts the raw essence of suicide, despair, hunger, pain, and human dignity. This painting is not merely an image—it is a witness to suffering, a silent scream against the weight of existence.
Through expressionist strokes, the figure hangs in a suspended state, caught between resignation and resistance, between the abyss of despair and the fragile thread of dignity. The muted tones and fractured textures evoke the emptiness of hunger, the burden of pain, and the silent endurance of those who refuse to be erased.
Yet, within the darkness, there is a quiet defiance—a refusal to surrender entirely. The composition forces the viewer to confront the fragility of life, the unspoken struggles of the human condition, and the unrelenting search for meaning in suffering.
More than 700 million people worldwide still live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $3 per day. Despite progress in recent decades, economic crises, conflicts, and climate change continue to widen inequalities, making poverty eradication increasingly difficult.
Beyond financial hardship, poverty affects access to food, healthcare, education, and basic human rights. It is a systemic issue that requires global cooperation, sustainable policies, and economic transformation to ensure dignity and opportunity for all.
