My artwork is about Alexithymia. Alexithymia is a mental disorder which leads to difficulty in identifying and describing feelings. the meaning of this artwork is that colourful planets show the normal people's emotions. But the falling apart planet shows the alexithymia people. Falling apart planet demonstrates that alexithymia cannot describe their feelings like other 'normal' people. I tried to make it realistic as I can with various sizes of brushes
