It's as if it had something missing in its life, a broken piece... and it wishes it can hold on to it for eternity... This picture is so amazing!

I love this and can really relate to this as well. Not only is the brain broken but there are also pieces missing, a feeling of falling apart and being broken. Well done

well I wouldn't say illness more like disability. I had a head injury in several years ago and many weird things happened after that

man ...this is a really awesome piece.
your humans look so ... humany @.@
this is also really emotional...its hard to explain
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yay! I wanted to make it emotional.There's deep meaning behind it 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ooh that's very meaningful, it kinda wrenches my heart into feeling something (I'm not sure what just 'something'
There's a lot of compassion in the way the person is holding the broken figure makes you endeared towards mental illnessy stuff and i have to go (damn) so bye!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yay! i evoked an emotional response!
Well thank you for feeling something! Because I'm really impassioned about the idea.
The way that humanity can't accept differences and so people who have mental illnesses are not socially acceptable. This picture kinda shows the 'loss' of the acceptance by society of someone whose brain is considered "broken".
If that makes sense...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, makes sense! and a good point to be making too! I think you've got a really good mindset to be an artist who addresses these issues in our society!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

well that's the idea i'm going along with for my major work I'm a thinking
