We carry them with us, wherever we go, invisible to others, ever present to ourselves. They are our Dark Passengers. Our troubles, our fears, our anxietys. You don't know who travels with them unless they wish to tell you.

They manifest when we go though tough times and weigh heavy on our shoulders. But it's not hopeless; we can harness them.
As we get through the hard times and come out the other side, our dark passengers turn to light. Our light passengers stay with us to give us hope that there is sun after rain, they give us knowledge that things will get better and appreciation of what we have.
This image represents the transformation of the girls dark passengers, while they're not completely light yet, there is a strange beauty about there transformation. She is getting better and holding onto hope.

I explored a similar concept in my piece. You become stronger rather than weaker by getting through tough things.
I am pleased to have many light passengers now, but this is only because I have had the dark. Drawing helps me transform mine, and all the support I get when I post art here is wonderfully uplifting. I always enjoy realising concept like this :D

I haven't seen Dexter, but he calls his inner darkness and urge to kill as his 'dark passenger' as well :)

OMG I LOVE this, its so beautiful, no exception to the rest of your art. ;D

Haha~ My take on my Dark Passengers is "Keep your spirits up, lass!" Sooo... "GET OFF YE BASTARDS!" But... I don't think it helps anything... XD

Ugh...I feel like sometimes these guys just decide to grab onto me...and they don't get off... :/
Love this though! It really gives shape to how sometimes we may have dark thoughts or intentions that we can't always explain :)
