The First artwork that saved me from Death

Hey Fellas ~
Good evening! How's your weekend? hope you enjoy it!
Sorry for being inactive as I work on some personal things and I hope for its success! :)

I want to share with you the very first artwork that I created back in 2021.
It was in the middle of the Pandemic when people are extremely suffering and dying out of nowhere.
The time when depression and mental health was a big issue, can trigger anyone due to the virus that ruins and destroyed many lives.

Also, the best time for me cause on this event I didn't realize that I will become an artist, I don't have any emotion of love for art the truth is, I was irritated by the smell of the toxic paints and colors we have a stocked art mat that given by my cousin it was a complete set but nobody will use it from my family.

The pandemic taught me how to manage my time effectively. I'd been suicidal cause I've been a close contact always and ended up getting locked down even tho I have a strong immunity I also have regular exercise, but being APO leads me to do my task without thinking about the virus, weeks passed by I'm still thinking about what happened to me until one night I decided to end my life there are so many problems running on my head that triggers me to think that way.
I'm about to get a rope but instead of a Rope what I get is the brushes and I was slipped by mini bottles of acrylic that make me more irritable. I pick one bottle and throw it to the ground and it broke! the acrylic spilled to the floor and when I'm about to pick it up, the color mixed with other colors accidentally, and I was astonished by its result! I picked up the paintbrushes and a canvas then the outcome was an abstract I keep doing the stroke until I satisfy my soul.
With every stroke on the canvas, there's inside of me that feels happy and free.
I suddenly forgot about the rope I should be dead by now, but then art saved me :)

have you noticed the band on my arm? Yeah! I keep hiding the scars on my wrist I do self-injury every time I get frustrated.

This symbolizes a free and newborn man, implying that no matter how dark the time is there's always a way to escape you just have to find the way out!


"THERE'S A WORLD OUTSIDE OF OUR MIND"

"MAY MUNDO PA! SA LABAS NG ATING MGA ISIPAN"

I put this painting in my area at the office, it serves as my reminder to be grateful and gives importance to my life.

This piece has a high sentiment value for me.

My first artwork ever! The painting that saves me from death.

Thank you for reading!

MOOON OUT! 🤙
