About the Artwork:
“I created this piece as a representation of my major depressive disorder. It can feel like you’ve cultivated all these little seeds of darkness, all blooming and growing in and around you. It can be overwhelming, but you can also create something beautiful from it too. It’s so important to always be learning, so grow from this.” – Chay Ruby
