Drowning

I painted this during a period of personal struggle a few years ago when I was battling depression. At that time, I felt compelled to conceal my inner turmoil from others because I was terrified of being judged or bullied. I attempted to confide in the person I held dearest and trusted the most, but unfortunately, they couldn't grasp the depths of my depression and instead scolded me. It left me with an overwhelming sense of isolation, akin to being submerged in a dark, frigid sea with no one around to provide support, and feeling utterly suffocated.
