Depleted (originally part of a "Nests/Pockets" collection) considers the state, as all eventually reach, when nests and pockets become empty. Using the female figure again, I've tried to express the feeling of depletion, of having spent yourself. Controversy is unavoidable when depicting the female body since it's been open to public scrutiny and comment for so long. Did I intend to suggest sacrifice?
