My Interpretation


What does this picture mean to you? For me it is one of the most powerful drawings I've ever seen. Everyone has different morals and perspective of things, that they might disagree with my interpretation on this image. What I see is a person having death in there hands. They see the whole world grey and feel like they have nothing to live for . For them it may seem so easy to commit suicide that they might even see the "beauty" in death.
