Description Our own mind; it's a place we can escape to, but we can never escape from. It's the ultimate prison.

She sits here and thinks as she plays with her hair, not realising as she twists it round her fingers she's creating her own cage, physically and mentally.

Wanted to design something interesting with the framing and composition, and went with the narrow colour scheme to try and reflect her internal feelings.

I'm trying to worry less, and was thinking about worrying less, then I realised I was worrying about worrying less! Made myself smile XD
The mind is such an intriguing thing, how no one else can read our thoughts, but they influence everything we do. We can imagine whats it's like to be someone else, but never really feel it, we will always be within our own heads, looking out...

Peace, love and unlocking our cages,
~Blue x

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up aSPECIALROOM to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.
Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or imSORRY

this is so me...
they say I should think and worry less... I can't... I'm always thinking about something... something important and something not 😞
I see there is someone who understands me someway 😊

But sometimes thinking a lot and ending up in this cage is not bad at all ☺

I've really noticed how you focus on light, and there's a frame of a darker color surrounding it. It's something I've noticed in your works.

If that's the case, then I never want to escape from my thoughts. I wish I can stay in my mind forever.

glitcher [2015-03-27 10:07:43 +0000 UTC]

I like the imagery of this, but what bothers me is how weak the contrast is. It's almost as if there's this grey veil over the image washing out the colours. A simple contrast adjustment could rectify this.

theartthatran In reply to glitcher [2015-06-18 17:13:14 +0000 UTC]

I think it suits the piece well- the low contrast adds effect to the message of the work- it's passive

You don't even know how much I can relate to this. It's a warm, calm, cozy prison. The one you don't want to escape from. You're okay with staying there, it won't betray you, you're relaxed, don't feel stress...ehh...it's a big topic...

Aspiring-Awesomeness [2015-01-24 21:07:41 +0000 UTC]

Relaxing can be hard work at times - the more you think about the topic of relaxation, the more tense you become. So you have to work on relaxing or worrying less without thinking relaxing or worrying less... Oh, the irony
Awesome concept, awesome art

The truth that no-one wants to admit, but most can feel, like an aching in your head when you feel like you can't escape from yourself, that then spreads and roots itself in your soul, enough that you feel the need to control it when really, you need someone to listen so you don't have to fight it yourself, despite thinking you can.
