Veronica Sorley, Hiding behind Rainbows (PORTRAIT 2022)

Even in today’s society there are issues of hiding our depression and sadness deep within ourselves so we don’t have to deal with them. Often the darkness and sadness of a personality is hidden behind their brightness and appearance of happiness. The rainbow and bright colours signify the happiness sometimes shown upon the faces and sometimes showered upon the person that hides the pain. The dark tears and black fluid leaking out signifying the release of the self-destruction . The umbrella symbolises protection from further pain.
