This piece is an entry for the What it's Like contest at mental-health.


I often feel empty, void of everything.  I should feel something sometimes, but it has been all wiped away by the tide full of sadness, and inner conflict.  I should smile instead having default sad face as my husband calls it, even my daughters have it.  I should smile now and then, however that is all empty deep void, that cannot be filled.  The sadness frequently oozes of walls, while I cuddle pillow instead of my daughters.  I go through chaos every day,, I just walk through it, not even flinching.  Everything became just automatic, even singing with my daughters... Its just singing, its just cooking, its just cleaning, its just a walk.  It is all empty.

Dedicated to someone I knew for 40 years, since I was born, who was lifted week and a bit ago by the strong northern wind Bura, tossed 10m away against the fence, and is now in hospital in coma.  I hope that you do come through Teta Bistra.  I miss you.  I remember all the times our families spent together while I was growing up, you teaching in primary school, teaching drama club, the summers and beach, and always a kind smile from you.   I need you to pull through because life should not be extinguished just like that, with the strong "reful" of Bura.  Thank you for making strong impact on my life and my childhood.  I am honoured to have walked at least part of the path with you.  You have left a huge mark on my life and helped shape who I am.

A very difficult angle to render I think...an image of a girl stripped bare ...finding warmth in a likely place....a look of forlorn introspection renders the figure in a vulnerable light indicating a difficult and lonely period in the life of a person searching for an answer to a question....
The composition a lighting would indicate a time of great personal consideration of past and present circumstances indicating a desolate and desperate search for reason to a variety of issues. It would seem the artist is trying to convey to the audience a feeling of cathartic melancholia.....in other words....a self portrait.
