With death being the only solace. Things can be hard, existence can be hard, that’s the most certain part of being alive. People have always tried to seek the meaning and fight the darkness of these realities.
The human history is filled with artistic impressions of depression and death. Artists have tried to explore and at sometimes, to make peace with these dark sides of life .
Haenuli, a professional fashion designer and a talented artist, has contributed her artistic inspiration about the death itself in her comics . She was inspired by the angel of death when she visited the Paris Orsay museum.
“When I visited the Paris Orsay museum, I saw many paintings but one old painting by Marianne Stoke (“Young girl and the angel of death”), that was Death-like; stood out to me. It was very interesting in human history how Death or Depression were messages and metaphors.” She said.
Instead of being afraid of the angel of death, Haenuli was actually got inspired to deal with her own depression.
This gave me so much inspiration in dealing with my own depression. I thought about my lost friends, broken hearts and hard times that I’ve been through. I wanted to accept my depression and I started to draw with short messages. Even dark things give comfort, and often depression is the odd comfort for knowing us well.
