Stillness in the Forest
My work explores the emotional and psychological landscape of depression, using the forest as a visual metaphor for the internal struggles I experienced. The sharp branches, hidden paths, and heavy shadows reflect the pain, isolation, numbness and dark thoughts that shaped that period of my life. I was drawn to these evergreens that endure harsh, cold environments, their needles are thick and sharp, their presence quiet but commanding. While the forest represents fear and uncertainty, it also became a place of escape and reflection. In its stillness, I began to confront the parts of myself I had buried. Through this series, I hope to give form to what often goes unseen and encourage deeper understanding of mental health and silent suffering.
