Description
A watercolor painting that expresses the lack of controll over their own life felt by someone adicted to self harm. The sea turtles are traditional symbols of adapting to a new environment, yet in the context of this painting they have the inverted meaning of not being able to fit in, which causes great misery in the protagonist. The painting captures a moment in which she is reflecting on her decision of harming herself in order to cope with her life and dreaming of a world in which there is no pain.

This work is incredible.
I liked it because I felt identification with what was 3 years ago when I still was not diagnosed with depression and even self-harm me.
That feeling of emptiness and abandonment, just wanting to stop feeling pain. It is very hard and seems to never be out more than death, but then you realize it's worth having remained strong.
