vibrant paintings that highlight the struggle of mental illness
We’ve all heard those quote-unquote ‘helpful’ pearls of wisdom people love to drop on any of us who have been unlucky enough to experience the real awfulness of mental illness. Truly, anyone who’s ever had to sit through someone's lecture about the healing power of yoga and its ability to cure every kind of depression deserves a medal of fortitude. (Look, yoga probably does help, but we’re a bit tired of hearing about it all the dang time.)
Emma Darrouzet understands just how frustrating this can be, so she transforms these incredibly annoying phrases into super-rad and colourful works of art. Her use of vivid colours and patterns express the mood of her mind, with the paintings’ titles satirising the unsolicited advice given to her. They’re not only mesmerising, but also offer some introspection about the reality of dealing with mental illness. Check out Emma's website and Insta to see even more of her ace stuff.
