21 Intense Illustrations Created By Japanese Artist of Emotional Experiences We Just Can’t Describe

By Andrew Alpin, 13 February 2018

There are countless of creative artists out there and though little is known about them, their work can amaze you like one Japanese artist going by the ID avogado6 who posted a series of illustrations on Twitter. The illustrations look a bit gothic and sinister in nature and portray feelings that many of us have encountered at least once in our lives. Those with depression and stress will relate to such feelings that have correctly been translated into his drawings. Take a look at this incredibly talented artist’s work. When you view these illustrations, you need to interpret them as per your own experiences.

1Attempting to save what should remain in the past

The fact that he uses his illustrations as metaphorical advice is genius. This is clearly indicative of many of us when we try to save something that should stay in the past. Some things or emotional experiences are simply not worth saving because they may end up doing more harm or creating within us an even bigger sense of loss. Moreover, just like the snowman in the fridge, you may have to manage the added stress and burden of clinging on to a past memory.

2When your wings can’t carry you anymore

The initial message in translation read when your wings are tired of carrying you. How true, when we try so much to stay calm and composed but life just wears us down. How much we long to just lie back on a bed and rest.

3 The sounds of silence

Titled Silence on his twitter page, this is truly brilliant. What can be more silent than the noiseless sound of snowflakes gently falling on a blanket of snow?

5 Tiredness

Tired and worn out is what this illustration originally says. But, look at the strings, this is how we really get stressed out from a lifestyle of work, housework, problems, anxiety and, stress all pulling at us like the strings of a puppet till they can’t tug anymore.

6 Picking up the pieces

This is a real sad illustration but it also indicates hope when we would rather put ourselves together piece by piece instead of breaking altogether.

7 Time is without mercy

Time has no mercy, that’s what Avogado6 portrays through this Gothic Illustration showing how Time too can be a killer especially for those afflicted with terminal illness, depression and the like, This is perhaps one of the most sinister illustrations of this collection showing an inevitable result of one’s condition, but it doesn’t really have to be like that. Call for help or speak to someone when harbouring such thoughts.

8I'm fine, really!

This is one piece of reality that affects so many of us. Not many are inclined to voice our depressed status on social media groups or inclined to cry out for support. But when we say we are fine, it can be seen on our faces.

9 Fragility that is unbearable

How often do we feel vulnerable to the point of feeling as if we are nothing but fragile puppets to bleed and injure easily.

11 Stuck

The red crisscrossing network seems to look like the crisscrossing rays of laser beams used as security alarms in museums protecting valuable exhibits but this has been cleverly symbolized in life where we to feel stuck within a prison of beams with no escape.

12 Locking your heart away

How true, when life deals a cruel blow hurting us with betrayal in a relationship. Some people don’t really get over this and lock their heart up for good.

13 Time takes away everything

I can safely say that many will be depressed watching this illustration revealing the dark and reality of life and Johnny Cash’s number Hurt comes to mind “Everyone I know goes away in the end”.

14 Too many words overload our brains

This is exactly what happens to us in teenage life when we are lectured at home and school with everyone telling us what we should do, how we should behave, what we need to become etc.

15 Apathy: the worst kind

Apathy can be a dangerous condition making us unproductive to the point of harming our own lives, prospects and those of our family too.

Stress, anxiety and trauma can manifest in our dreams and our lives as a dark sinister ghoul eating us alive or like an emotional sore that won’t go away.

17 When the eyes meet

Finally something positive and heartwarming. How many us have experienced this when we lock eyes with a stranger knowing that somewhere deep down we have made a connection.

18 When work is draining our life energy

There is no illustration that can depict this better. Many of us aren’t exactly happy with the ideal work atmosphere and by the end of the day; it’s an emotional drain on all our senses and energy.

19 Success only online

You feel happy and successful only when you are online and that’s true of almost everybody. The internet is a place where millions escape, where even those who judge us can just be blocked or shut off with the click of a button, where we can voice our achievements and gain appreciation too.

20The big education gap

Although Avogado6 may have depicted this figure as a portrayal of the education gap, it could be interpreted in a variety of ways. In the past, perhaps social conditions of poverty did create such a situation but with today’s internet, the education gap has been bridged a lot, it’s a matter of how much you are willing to learn.

21 Filtration

Perhaps this could be indicative of the avogado6’ creativity where all input filters through him with an output after passing through the creative process which is the artist himself.
