   "Grief in Bloom" in a mock-up design 118cm X 84cm crylic on Canvas Unframed Grief in Bloom - A testament that we can make something great, out of grief, sorrow, sadness and emotional guilt. This is the second addition to my new series: Beautiful Depression . Beautiful depression is a series that talks to mental health in isolation of other influences and factors, because like many of us suffering from mental health, the feeling of isolation and loneliness almost becomes friends and a comfort, more than an enemy. I decided on the series beautiful depression,    because of my own personal story.
