Breaking Depression

     Breaking depression represents the depressingly conventional idea of self, the shell that society has put us in, breaking open through self-realization. This piece brings up the conversation of isolation and depression felt due to the expectations put upon us as individuals by our society today. Depression is a worldwide skyrocketing problem that is ever increasing and will only be able to be changed by addressing it. My intention is that for anyone who feels sadness or loneliness, that it creates a communal connection because it allows the onlooker to know that they are not alone in these feelings while also offering hope of breaking out of the darkness. Through the art we can feel alone together.
