Trapped in Depression delves into the heavy impact of depression, a term rooted in the Latin “deprimere,” meaning “to press down.” This condition drains life with feelings of boredom, disinterest, and avoidance. Through collapsing clay layers formed by the coil technique, I represent the relentless pressure depression imposes, while the dark material captures the consuming void. The distorted form reflects how depression warps existence, overwhelming body and soul. This sculpture is a visual metaphor for the silent struggle many endure, calling attention to the urgent need to recognize and address this invisible burden.
