Ulla Saar’s graphite works use a lot of expressive shading and convey the feeling of a sketch. Their combination of lack of background with written words make these drawings seem very personal, and that’s partially why I like them so much.
Her images include little sentences like, “Hell is around the corner” and “It’s not enough and it never was” on what looks like scrap paper. It’s really raw and makes me feel the type of sadness I’d feel listening to my favorite melancholy song.
