This piece depicts a young woman trying to escape her mind despite emerging hands trying to hold her back. This piece represents my experience and interpretation of mental health. The young woman is trying to escape the struggles of her mind even though they are holding her back. It is almost as if no matter how hard she tries, she can't escape the mental health struggles that continue to try to trap her. Mental health issues will always be a struggle for people who experience them; however, they are possible to overcome, despite the feeling that you are stuck with them forever. They will probably always be there, but you won't always have to feel trapped by them.
