Light At The End Of The Tunnel
I am hoping to portray in this image the feeling of hope that one may feel when their spirit is suffering a deep depression. Through the love and help of their family they have found their way out of the 'dark' tunnel of 'despair' and into the 'light' of 'hope'. So often depression can lead to suicide which affects the whole family and 'hope' and belief can make the family strong.
