i am the model
feelings are mine

(anomie: personal state of isolation and anxiety resulting from a lack of social control and regulation. Reflections on the past experiences. Posting such an image would be paradoxical if I was still experiencing it.)

edit: Since this isn't something that many can relate to and understand, I'll add that this piece is against anomie. I don't think the solution lies in that direction and I tried to communicate that with the black opening and the white light shining from it. To me it represents false heaven, a lure, a craving to withdraw even though mind is aware that there is darkness and depression.

I don't really understand it. Looks really nice though. I like everything, but the numbers and letters at the top. They don't go with the rest of the picture.
Best of luck,
Lestat

a unusual image - a pieceful and graceful attempt to escape? her pose suggests she already knows she will not make it

Just stunning...wonderful piece! I agree with krowcolc, too. It seems a vain but fevered attempt at escape...

Quite haunting, a great piece nonetheless. It reminds me of a dream I once had.

Good work.

Yes, that's the thing, i don't expect everyone to understand. The fewer the better, really. You have to have gone through something like that to understand it. To me, everything in the picture fits into the concept i'm trying to convey and I took out everything that doesn't. I appreciate that you took time to tell me.
