Deliquesce means to melt or dissolve away. This piece is a representation of over-working oneself mentally and physically. Often times, this is metaphorically referred to as, " burning your candle at both ends." Overworking yourself can be more destructive then you think. Understanding your limits and abiding by them, taking breaks and knowing when enough is enough can save you from this self-destructive habit.
