Charles VI aka Charles The Mad suffered from "glass delusion" where he feared he might shatter like glass if physically accosted. He went so far as to insert metal rods under his clothes so that he might seek to prevent being shattered apart.
Here, a protrait of Charles VI by the painter known as the Master of Boucicaut (1412) is remixed to show the Mad King shattered into pieces; his greatest fear. [1/1]
The work stands for the proposition that we each take measures - sometimes MAD ones - to avoid being SHATTERED.
