Inspired by Novacane by Frank Ocean, “Numb The Pain” borrows a lyric and a color palette. Cyan is the attention-grabber, crisscrossing across the piece and mingling with white. Brown and tan intermix underneath. Forest green is the base, followed by glass beads and black sand for added texture. Splashes of red originating in the top right mimic the lipstick and swimsuit in the album shot for Novacane.
