An image created for a leaflet on depression that can be suffered after the loss of a loved one. This was later revised as it was seen as being a little extreme. However I am quite pleased with it.

This detail from the picture shows the second piece overlaid text, which I thought was very poignant to the look and feel of the image. There are many layers that went to the creation of this piece; I wanted to create a great feeling of depth and to complement the text with a sense of depression emanating from the work itself with or without the text.
