Depression

I wanted to created a piece that expressed depression; I wanted the image to look distorted, so that it took a second glance before you realise what it is. This is because depression is misread sometimes, people do not always realise when someone is depressed straight away. I chose to do this piece as a batik because I wanted to use ink as it is free flowing and would be perfect for tears, the reason why I wanted this to be in black and white with no colour is to represent the darkness and pain that the subject is feeling.
