In the Blight 

"In the Blight" is a realistic painting by Sarah Joncas, a contemporary artist known for her hyperrealistic style. The painting features a young woman with long, dark, red hair, with strange, organic forms resembling a parasitic infection growing on her skin. The woman's expression is unsettling, suggesting both vulnerability and resilience, while the dark background intensifies the eerie atmosphere. Joncas's masterful use of detail and lighting create a sense of unease and invites viewers to contemplate the complex relationship between beauty and decay.
