50 Powerful Illustrations By Japanese Artist That Will Make You Think

Feeling like your batteries have worn out.

Wanting to make everyone happy. I’ve felt that

Your lifes s**t but online u look like a real winner

This just makes me want to cry...

Time is killing us slowly

This is what depression is like to me.

Look at the shadow... it seems that his own chipped parts are casting that chipping shadow. Maby it meens that we are our greatest enemies. I know that I can be great... as long as I trust myself. On other hand, when I am insecure, I am dumb as hell 😉😎

Awww...I irrationally hope they get to meet again!

Oh god me as a boy... Coffee

Welcome to the machine

life's greatest pleasure!

The different interpretations of this are fascinating....

Free thinker in a world of forced order.

It seems like it's suggesting that when you shield yourself from the storm you lose your mind (and any ability to think and create) yet when you leave yourself open to the rain it feeds your own brainstorm.

It's what happens when you make a girl mad. After she bit the head off every man there is, her anger is still consuming her. She needs to learn to let things go.

your head is a storm

When one people impose her point of view on the rest of society. that's how i saw it

Thinking no one understands her (headless) and she lets out a rainstorm of sadness. but people block it away.

or maybe working to get the umbrella worked thier heads of and she hasnt worked for it so she is the only sane 1

The girl needs help, but everyone is mindless drones who'd rather shield themselves from trouble.

Depression?

your thoughts are the storm that brainless people try so hard to avoid

Title: "Depression"

the people in suits are people who have ended their own lives while she is still suffering

Reminds me of 'The Son of Man' by Rene Margritte

Burn out.

Not being able to escape the harder parts of life, whether you choose to see what’s happening (like the girl) or shield yourself from the truth (like the men).

She is the only one who broke free from the monotony and allowed herself to feel the rain. The rest are just headless people moving aimlessly. She knows. She thinks. And it's too much to be the one in the know. Too many thoughts

She's on her way to be headless

The head explodes as the rain washes away the darkness of the mind.

She feels like she forces others into sadness, but she's forcing herself in true reality

Feeling like someone is cutting the strings that hold you up.

Sometime darkness will be your best friend

This illustration is more poetic than much of the artwork that is out there today.

Amazing - this is one of the few illustrations that exactly sums up how my depression feels to me

a sheltered and restricted child being lured out of their cage and safety by someone taking advantage of their innocence

Those trowing the darts are wearing their own masks as well

We reap what we sow

Hedwig, why!?!?

Wanting to preserve your childhood

Sometimes you need to let go all you have just to be with someone

Hoping for the parents you never had. Wanting a complete family...

having to use yourself to keep others happy

temporary freedom

Trying to find yourself!

drained

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking off her clothes

Orchestrated death

childhood trauma

Surrounded by a bunch of airheads?

Such a big heart with no one to love..

Darkness will clnsume you even if you're grasping at your last bit of light.

Again, time is deadly

This says to me "So many things that want to plug into you. To use your energy and lifeforce, and drain you." Perhaps referring also to the electronics and devices that seem to consume our lives, in this illustration, quite literally.

when life has no more meaning after you finish reading a good book

Be patient when helping someone who's struggling to adapt. (There's enough yarn)

Kill them with kindness

Feeling like no matter what move you make, it will not end well
