The Sad Truth

Actual meaning

This image depicts suicide and how often someone under the age of 25 commits suicide every day

What the piece means to me

In my opinion I find this piece rather upsetting to think that just over every 2 hours somebody takes their life away.

Materials

This image was created digitally although in the background there is element of traditional work in the form of writing and that is what makes the piece so effective its background. Although the woman in the foreground helps to create the concept of suicide and the pills laid in front of her suggesting she took an overdose.

Overall Judgement

This piece is effective and the reason I chose this image was mainly because of the writing in the background. The truth is suicide is in mordern day society we cannot stop all we can do is try.
