“This here, at the bottom, represents my mind. Its just the top of someone’s head. And all this blackness is what’s all around at the moment. The depression. I start with very bad panic attacks and anxiety attacks and then the depression comes in. I start being listless and I can’t take an interest in things. All these things like the two people digging here – I used to go on archeological digs, which I really enjoyed. Trains. I tried to find a picture of a station, but I couldn’t – the infrastructure of railways is another interest of mine. Churches. I like walking in woods and books are a great passion. So that’s all those things, and all this here is just the blackness, the bleakness. A bleak landscape and ruins. Its all overloaded with blackness”.
