>>3793108> What do you find appealing about this genre of art?> Do you just like gloomy art in general?I generally feel like my feelings are denied. For example, when I opened myself last time and said that I feel more depressed lately, I was given a lecture that I don't have depression (as illness), because I don't have depression symptoms like not eating.
But looking at these images makes me feel that these emotions are valid. Not only that - this art actually materialize these emotions, so the feeling that they really exist is even stronger.
(Just to be clear - I do not claim that I have depression as illness. I don't know that. But what I claim is that I feel lonely, depressed, useless, burden to the environment and that it's not worth for me to continue living.)
> Is it cathartic? Do you find that it helpsSometimes. E.g. this picture strongly reminds me my past self when waiting for ex to return from work. At that time, I believed that she's late because she has lots of work.
Looking at it hurts, I can feel how the girls enthusiasm while preparing the dinner turned into loneliness, I can hear the quiet in the room, I can feel cold although the air is warm. Through this pain, it feels like wounds are going to heal, because it always hurt before cells repair themselves.
P.S.: I apologize for my English, this was little bit more difficult to express.
