Description
Overwhelmed verb bury or drown beneath a huge mass.
Overwhelmed the art work is my interpretation of life situations and a mental state of mind we as a species may in different times in our lives have to endure.
The causes and titles assigned to this emotion or state of mind are many and varying perhaps stemming from our own poor choices in life, sometimes circumstances beyond our control or death,violence,illness,decaying relationships,divorce,unemployment,,broken hearts,abuse,war,poverty,ignorance and so on.
The well represents the feeling of a situation we feel we can not get out of , that seems to be more than we can endure and the rest is just OVERWHELMED.

Proactive, intriguing, overwhelming... believe it or not, in most instances in my life I have moved from the box of overwhelmed to the comfort of serenity. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things l can, and the wisdom to know the difference.'

Gerald, we all feel this at times, it is life... we work our way through it as it's all we can do. We just have to forgive ourselves & be kinder to ourselves. We can't change the past, but only can look forward to a brighter future. Let go of the pain & let go of the things we cannot go back change. We are not alone, we have each other, & we have our art to express our pain & love. This is our only life her, so let's make the best of it... we'll work together! ps, Art is never a waste of time, it is "us" & we are not a waste of time... we were not a waste of time when we were created. Everything happens for a reason..... cause & effect :) I'm here... so are you... :D
