"Drowned" is an art piece I created based on my own mental health experiences - therefore it is very personal to me. I wished to convey the deep and turbulent emotion usually connected to depression and the thoughts within, which made me think of the deep sea, and the uncontrollable nature of the rapids relative to human feeling. This image is a portrayal of the self at its most vulnerable - surrounded by murky darkness, cold and alone, a space once familiarized now empty and devoid of comfort. The background is a stylized realization of the layout of my own room, though the clock-shaped window in the upper left was my own addition. I see it as a “window” into my own self, a testament to baring these dark emotions to the scrutiny of others.
