The Beautiful Facets of Healing

I was inspired by all of the artwork that has come out of the minds of the distressed, including Van Gogh. They expressed their pain creatively, and through their work, were able to heal. To me, mental health and well-being is the ability to feel your pain and overcome it through growth. I hope viewers will be able to see that even the most broken pieces of oneself can be healed. Though scars remain, the person you become after pain is only stronger. I also want them to experience the beauty that can come out of pain, as long as you take the time to heal and grow from the experience. I chose digital artwork to depict this in order to add all of the required effects and layering to better enhance the piece.
