Therapy in art is essential in the work of Poveda. The topic of anxiety and wanting to escape is something that many can relate to. The artist speaks from personal experience and finds strength through the work in that he is able to eventually break free from such emotions and torment. The corroded nature of the work is symbolic in that these feelings are eventually conquered and left behind to rust.
