I created this piece of art towards the back end of a long bout of depression. At the point of creating this I had recently had a breakthrough in therapy and had once again found my creative muse. The picture is a nod to my love of the northeast, especially that piece of coast and the obvious light shining through the darkness. For so long I thought I would never see that light again but because of the hard work I had been doing on my self it felt like it could be possible again. Although I still have bad days and weeks they are never as bad as they were during that time and I have not had long periods like I did back then. Looking back at this piece of art I have realised how significant it is and although I wasn’t able to freely push my creative boundaries this was the start of me being creative again.
