You enter through the doorway,
The lighting, dimmed to a tone,
An ambiance trickles, it's inviting...elevating!
Grab a champagne, and walk on through.

Over here, the artist makes explicit use of brighter blazes of colour.
It talks back to days of happiness, content, even love?
Here we can see ideas of dreams and idealism,
A soul who once believed that out there; love triumphed!

The next range, our artist plays with darker shades of grey.
It's subtle, yet enough to break the backdrop of a rainbow.
Perhaps the feelings of hurt and betrayal, loyalties have been tested.
However hurt, our artist still holds the idea of love.

One of the last sections, our artist falls into a darkness.
Black, grey with a centerpiece of red in most pieces.
You feel the torment and the feeling of being trapped.
The artist has succumb to their inner demon.

The artist has battled their mind, along their journey, we've seen victory and defeat.
We can see a tale of hopelessness and anxiety,
We can almost be sure of loneliness and despair.
We see an imagery of an author, who once wrote of love...

However, we turn to the final piece on display
A shadowy figure, still guided by darkness.
However, he follows a winding trail, onwards,
To a glowing Sunrise in the distance...

And with this, we know...
The battle is not over!
An imagery of walking through an art gallery that uses imagery as feelings and mind states
