All Around features a woman partially submerged in the dark, crystalline waters of a swamp. Black liquid drips off her tongue, threatening to break the surface of the thick water. Eerie eyes glow behind her, framed by bare tree limbs. Stars shine above her. This image elicits a chill down one's spine and is meant to cause the viewer discomfort. The woman's black saliva and pupiless eyes leave the viewer with the feeling that this place exists outside of reality, but the woman does not. A new era of black tears debuted in this piece.
