At the bottom of my deep blue ocean

In the process of exploring and verbalizing my past memories, sadness remained the king of all emotions for almost 10 months out of 24.
I have a elder son,Samanvay who has Down's syndrome. Since his birth, everything changed in my family life . . . all topsy-turvy.

I let out all my painful experiences in this phase of bringing out sadness.
I got amazed at the deep sadness inside me.
I was crying day in and day out during that phase in therapy. I felt its presence everywhere inside me.
In this painting, it’s me lying down face up with sadness evaporating from my head, neck, chest, gut, and pelvis. I felt deep sea of sadness inside me.
Sadness was coming out of my breath through open mouth.
I felt I am surrounded by an ocean of sadness and dullness and hopelessness – infinite layers up and around.

I felt that it could be a state of deep depression in my life.
I allowed it to happen and was very much aware of its presence and knew that I am working on it and will come out of it eventually.
