This project revolves around a picture book that aims to portray the evolution of my past struggles with depression. I endured a challenging phase in my home country while working in one of the most demanding industries - advertising. I existed as a soulless body, constantly overwhelmed by tasks. Late nights were a norm as I strived to complete assignments and prepare for the impending days. My daily routine was a monotonous cycle from one work commitment to another.
At that time, I did not realise how serious it could be, I just thought like that I was born for work and devoted to this job. No one could stop me from working like a crazy man till one day I saw some unstable signals in my physical strength and mental health. Hence, I aim to portray myself in this narrative, illustrating the contrast between the darkness of my past days trapped in a toxic work environment and the potential for a brighter and more fulfilling life once I break free from that harmful loop. The following poem encapsulates the essence of this narrative.
