Inevitable Ending
“The drawing “Inevitable Ending” by artist Gimiro is a haunting image that captures the viewer’s attention immediately. The drawing features a faceless man in motion, falling down towards a cityscape. The man is depicted in a way that suggests he is out of control and in a state of free fall.
The name of the drawing, “Inevitable Ending,” suggests that the artist is contemplating suicide as a way to escape their struggles. The faceless man is a metaphor for the anonymity and isolation that people with mental illness often feel. The cityscape below represents the outside world, which seems both inviting and daunting at the same time.
The drawing may also be interpreted as a cry for help from the artist. The image suggests that the man is in need of support and assistance, but that he is unable to ask for it directly. The act of falling may be seen as a metaphor for the feeling of being overwhelmed by the challenges of mental illness.
The lack of a face on the man also adds to the sense of anonymity and isolation that the artist is expressing. The man’s identity is unknown, but his struggle is palpable. The drawing captures the sense of hopelessness and despair that can accompany mental illness, especially when it feels like there is no escape.“
