The wood and the suicide

The Wood and the Suicide by Salvador Dalí portrays a haunting yet surreal interpretation of Dante’s encounter with the tortured souls of the suicides in the Seventh Circle of Hell. Twisted tree forms represent trapped spirits, their agony palpable as they merge with the wood. Dalí’s vivid, dreamlike imagery conveys despair and the permanence of their punishment, blending symbolism with emotional intensity.
