About this work

Description

The painting attempts to illustrate two extreme mood phases of Bipolar Disorder, which may be cyclical and is shown here by an eye. On the right hand side of the picture, the eye (iris and pupil) against a dark background resembles a low level of energy and depression. The left side of the picture in contrast, illustrates the opposing mood of elation and high energy level by means of a wave breaking on a sunny beach.
