Depression

“That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end.”
Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation



This is definitely the darkest work I've ever done with photomanipulation. It's not perfect, maybe it's not even high quality and I ruined some beautiful stocks. Maybe it just sucks.
Whatever.
I needed to express what I'm feeling inside, since everybody - family, "friends" - tend to ask that a lot lately. I'm not well.
This is exactly how I feel.
The path is dark, it takes time to heal, sometimes it's pure desperation. But there's light, out there. In order to heal, you (or I) have to climb those slippy and steep stairs to reach it. To reach happiness.

Hope I managed to convey the concept.
