Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) I was struggling a lot with my depression at the time I created this. I felt like I was being forced to see the world in a certain way, like I was being forced to see the world from a certain view and if I tried to look away I could get hurt. I was smiling, which felt forced, to hide my pain. It felt like needles digging into my heart and mind. Behind me are all the horrible things my demons were telling me.
