Great work, love that you have based this particular image on depression and your experience of it.......I would like to see some more.... I myself have suffered for many years, unfortunately mine is genetic and not a passing episode..... It's great that you are channeling "it" through your art!!!!!

Like the drowning feel and the way she's staring out at the viewer,as if in accusation.

..bi-polar,asperger's..so although I don't suffer from it myself,I can empathise with how devastating depression can be....
secondly...all faces are slightly asymmetrical, so it just looks natural?
Third....best piece of advice I ever got from an artist[a very well-known pain -in-teh -butt Melbourne artist,& a regular entrant in the Archibald prize,so...I shall NOT name her?
..you can take that with a grain of salt,but I have to say...it certainly works!!
Fabulous work,very expressive!!
