I think this piece is  emotionalism because  it is possibly representational of the artist and how they feel possibly about themselves. I interpret this because the head seems very broken and scattered, busy. This could insinuate the way the creator feels. The surround elements of the head are very scratchy and rough squares of color, maybe trying to show this person years for understand and stability but themself feels too busy and scattered to  focus.  In all, it represents emotionalism because it is a fight between wanting stability both inner and outer when the subject in this case seems to be broken and struggling for self control and acception
