343: Project 2

Both sides
Resistance/Struggle/Obstruction

My first piece, on resistance and struggle, shows a boy, fighting out of his depression. The words say, "You think you own the best of me, and control my life's destiny, I'll fight until you're sad to see, you'll never have the rest of me." When it comes to depression, it is a constant struggle, but resisting the urge to let it control you is how you survive.

My second piece is on obstruction. The reason it is higher than the first is because obstruction, dealing with depression, is mostly dealing with the thoughts in your head. The monster holds the boy and says a poem to him. He says,  "Hush little baby, but please cry, you'll never be good enough, until you die. Your thoughts will control you til you disappear, and every hour you'll be wrapped in fear... But im still here." Depression will never go away; it is long lasting, and if you do let it control you, you'll never get out.
