Anger

Every day we are plagued by dozens of emotions that are in response to the world around us. For many of us, sadness or depression is a prevalent feeling that weighs us down. When I feel sadness, I feel overwhelmed and suffocated by the intensity of the feeling. It leaves me feeling trapped with nowhere to turn and like there is no escape from the feeling. Anger is something that goes hand in hand with sadness. For a long time I would cover up my feelings of sadness with anger and rage. These works are meant to emulate that stifling sadness and the overwhelming nature of periods of anger and depression.
