I have no idea what those characters spell but if they represent insults or tragic phrases they must compile a powerful message.
Words certainly can cause as much, if not more, damage than physical force.
Despite all the efforts that have been done to "get along with each other", we keep struggling to clean languages from hurtful utterances. I guess our zeal for freedom of speech is stronger and more determined.
I like the composition and style you chose. Made me think of some movie posters that attract and repell at the same time. The drama in the female face says a lot without saying much. I guess that's why you chose the chinese(?) characters.
We have an expression in spanish when someone explains something to us that we still don't get, me estás hablando en chino (that's chinese to me).
