A female migraine patient fights her nightmare of being confined with provocation and chaos. The roadrunner alleviates her restlessness and her pain.
A strong need for freedom and the desire to be independent are the patient's core themes. To satisfy these needs she will go to the limits, ready to fight. Her far-sightedness and interest in spirituality recall the lanthanides. The duality of restless activity and fixation is reflected in the image of the distinctive bird Geococcyx californianus.
