Statistics say that around 60% of all teens today have thought about killing themselves. The redness in this drawing takes up 60% of the space and represents those with brooding thoughts, while the other 40% of the page is blue and represents those teens who have never thought about committing suicide. Suicide is a very major factor in today’s world and in our society. I made this picture so that we all could awaken to the reality of how significantly suicide affects our culture today.

I like this. At first I didn't really get it, but the description shows that you've really put a lot of thought into this and provided a statistic as a piece of art work. It's slightly abstract yet well drawn too. Good job.
