Depression

I've been playing with this concept for several years. The idea is to depict the depression mask. Often those with depression, or any similar condition, will put on a happy face and appear to others that we are doing fine when inside we are suffering.

Maria,

You conveyed that well. Your first picture was the best, in my opinion.
