I got the inspiration from Pablo Neruda's Poem "I Like You Calm, As If You Were Absent". My favorite part is "You are like night, calmed, constellated.
Your silence is star-like, as distant, as true."

A very personal, personal project. An attempt to visualize some of the raw emotions experienced during depressed periods. Started during a bad time, and completed later.

Along with some less healthy ones.
