Munch designed several of his motifs based on human challenges with identity: the relationship to society, to nature and to oneself. Like Kierkegaard and Freud, Munch had a special psychological ability to look inward.

From his own traumatic experiences, Munch developed his own symbolism, and created images that express man's deepest emotional experiences, a highly subjective art, an expressionism in Munch's sense.
