Small acrylic painting on board 30cm by 40cm.

I was inspired by the story of a forest in Japan that is called 'suicide forest'.  People go there to end their lives.  Its a part of my story too and I wanted to convey hope in the idea that depressed, hopeless people 'look down' and are in a dark place.  I wanted to do work that 'looked up to the light of the sun' both physically and spiritually.  It may not feel like it at times and I know that place well, but there is always hope.
