  • I love "reflection of agony". Is it about depression?

    Thank you! Reflection of agony could be about depression. I haven’t explained my pictures often, but since you asked, I’ll try :) I wanted to describe that feeling when you try not to lose happiness about something that is important for you. The sky is beginning to lose its color, everything starts to freeze around you and what was warm before, will slowly turn to blue. When you think of agony, it could be monochrome, but I wanted to keep the colors, but make them look like they are fading. In life sorrow is not just ”black and white”, it’s more complex and it contains hopes and expectations.

    When I took that picture, there wasn’t much ”beauty” in nature. Autumn was gone and Winter was coming; everything had stagnated. Only dark branches and their frozen reflection were stretching towards the dim light. It’s like when you reach out and try to get compassion from someone, but they don’t care about you. Eventually you have no other choice but to stop trying, stop fighting against the coldness and let it consume you. And all what is left is agony, the reflection of how you felt before you had to give up.
