This series is a visual reflection of my sense of self and state of being while creating it. Intending to convey my experience of getting out of a depression through abstract symbolism and visual metaphors. Representing how I was experiencing this through the narrative of the anonymous characters, reflecting on the apathy, melancholy, and anxiety. Choosing to work with ink because of the way the pigment creates uncontrolled patterns and textures when combined with water. Resulting in an intuitive process using organic lines, shapes, and shades of black. Each of the 15 drawings functions as one frame of a larger work.
