My piece represents the never-ending nightmare of anxiety and depression. The two voices are inside you, screaming different things, trying to break free of each other while trying to silence and harm one another. The painting shows two people trying to suffocate and strangle each other while trying to break free from the grasp of their enemy, which emulates the effects anxiety and depression have on one’s brain. The sentiment this painting is evoking shows how anxiety and depression make it feel like nothing is real. Like a dream; a very scary dream.
