I came up with the concept for this drawing sometime late last year at the start of a depressive episode. There was a deep frustration that I had no way of expressing, except from drawing. At the time I felt that I knew what the issue was and how to solve it, but now I feel it was several aspects of my life that began accumulating to an extent that it could no longer be repressed. I’ve decided to keep the subject of the work neutral, neither man nor woman, both without a face, in order for it not to depict a situation in particular, but a feeling. This is my first time experimenting with ink and charcoal on canvas. The decision was made to use them in order to create a sense of distortion/imperfection to the piece. The most difficult part of the creation process was the commitment to visually recreate emotion that I currently do not feel, but I am grateful to have this difficulty.
