Depression

FINALIST FOR THE 2019 CHROMACON OPEN ILLUSTRATION AWARD

I pictured this painting during a dark time in my live. I was under a cloud of oppressive feelings as while walking down to the train station, I thought of Depression is an immense weight, a heaviness that can’t be easily shaken off, muffling the rest of the world. It affects so many of us.

My motivation for this painting is believing this: we human beings can find hope in community, in faith, in life, in facing our internal battles together and bringing our darkness to the light where it is laid bare and unarmed.
