Description I used the description of Melancholy provided as a guide. It was considered a mental disease, suffering and despair. I decided to portray that side of it. In this piece I'm also using the veiled woman as representing any woman. That they are a group is to show and symbolize shared pain. Also at the turn of the last century women often were institutionalized for bouts of despair, depression and ...Melancholy. This is also a not to subtle homage to see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.

Also this fits in with the Halloween spirit I'm currently under.

Once you visited or lived outside your own country you never see it the same way again. I'm doing alot of art YEs because I love it and also sad to say I can't afford much to do anything else... so in a way I'm making do. Actually I'm still trying to pay for this semester and it's stressed me out quite a bit. No exhibitions solo or otherwise beyond the net at present.
