Trust

This piece is inspired by the experience I had tapering off an anti-depressant medication. For months this process left me oscillating between feeling OK and then suddenly feeling extremely low and empty. The hardest thing about this process was not being able to do anything to improve the situation, it was simply a case of being patient and waiting for it to run its course.

I drew this piece landscape and the flowing shapes represent rapidly cyling between feeling OK to not feeling OK. I chose the name 'Trust' because during this process all I could do was trust that I'd make it through this difficult experience, and that better times lay ahead. It feels good to come out the other side and be able to create this piece of art to symbolise that chapter of my life.
