Bargaining ring is a ring that has referenced the form of the playground facility, spinner. I have incorporated optical illusion with the tilted form of the spinner to give a visual impression to viewers on understanding how one can be struggled with the emotional breakdown meanwhile sustaining a normal life in order not to fall apart in front of others.

“Depression is a void. From the outside, it looks peaceful and calm, but from the inside, it can drag and swallow your whole ego. “In the grief process, there is a going down and a coming up. There is disorganization and reorganization. There is disintegration and a return to wholeness. At the point of depression, one has reached the bottom and will probably be ready soon to start upward (Flatt 145).””
