Mental Health , 2021
Digital

On the topic of mental health and wellness, having a support system can help us reduce stress or any other mental illnesses and develop healthy coping skills. The drawing I’ve made digitally portrays a support system which is a group of people who provide each other with emotional support. It’s something we all need. A support system should bring you comfort, safety, and security. I believe in the importance of receiving and giving back. You cannot expect someone to emotionally support you while you don’t give anything back in return. I drew them holding hands because support should go around. I included a lot of bright and pastel colours in my palette because mental health is often seen as a negative topic and it is only recently that society has normalized it and I hope we can continue to give light to this topic and give everyone access to a good support system and the courage to speak up about their mental health issues.
