This is a piece of art “The moon in the forest” I made during my depression, a vision from my dreams. At that time, the psychiatrist asked me to describe my feeling. I felt like a heavy black gas enveloped me. I recorded this feeling in the form of electronic painting. Whenever I see this painting now, I can still recall the feeling at that time, which may be the ability of art to record emotions.
In the artwork, I added a character, looking for light in the dark forest, I hope to remind people who are suffering from depression in this way, never give up looking for light.
