Painting by Ameer Alkaby | Titled “Ghost”

Artwork Meaning
This drawing, created on white paper, is part of a silent art project related to a mental health course. The artist named me “Amir’s Drawing” and initially considered calling me “Lost.” However, he decided on the title “Ghosts” to represent negative ideas and demonstrate their destructive nature. The drawing portrays a girl with a cloth covering her face, symbolizing how negative thoughts can blind and distract the mind, leading to irrational decisions. The artist emphasizes that negative thoughts are deceptive and thought-provoking but ultimately harmful. The horns above the girl’s head symbolize strength and resilience in the face of these negative influences. The balloon in the drawing represents the attempts to break free from the grip of negative thoughts. The message conveyed is to persevere, turn to a higher power, and not let negative thoughts control one’s mind and thinking, especially in challenging situations.
