An Elephant In The Room

The "elephant in the room" is an English phrase that means something obvious but often overlooked. When I first heard the phrase it impressed me, and I was the one who lived with the elephant in the room but always ignored it. So I wrote a poem based on it and created this series. The work is full of depression and confusion in which I am constantly confronted with my elephant.
