Description The prompt for this sketchbook assignment was "a wish." I wish that I could reach out and shatter my depression with the touch of my hand as if depression was a disease which trapped me in a glass prison. I wish it was that simple. 
I used the color blue to emphasize a sad tone, not because the amulet is blue. However, the fact that I was able to make the amulets stand out by applying color (without deviating from the color blue) helped convey the meaning behind My Thoughts Like Poison. The reason I blurred the background is because I didn't want anyone to be able to easily read it. I filled the background with negative thoughts​.

I wanted to make it deep and personal so I'd be able to express my feelings better since words couldn't really convey what I was going through when I made this. So I'm glad you think that.

Firstly, I'd like to say, thank you.
Secondly, I developed clinical depression awhile back. I created this during the lowest period of life yet. It was really bad for about a year, but I got help, had a lot of support from fam and friends, and tried different prescription antidepressants. I found an antidepressant that works, and I've been okay more or less ever since.
