Description
I'm trying to put into a painting feeling of deep depression, to help people understand the complete soul-sinking experience. My aim is to create a visual that can be used as a tool by people suffering to help explain it when they don't have words or energy to do so...
Depression is a slow, steady sinking down. It's a thick pressure which muffles you off from the rest of humanity, Events seem outside your control. You are pulled in a tangled snare further from light and warmth into the cold depths.

You've captured my feeling so well here when I started suffering depression. It's like falling into an abyss. It's also really beautiful.

Answer me speedily, O Lord; my spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Psalm 143:7-8 I found my comfort in Jesus Christ.

I can totally relate to this wonderful piece without even having to read your description. It caught my eye as the ‘holy grail’ of trying to explain my illness. Wonderful work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏻📸 Neil
