*clears throat aggressively and assumes British accent*
And here we see "Ashes", made by Magma. It is designed to create a commentary on mental health. See here, how the fire is burning away at the subject, leaving a similar shape to how they looked before, but fundamentally altered, and, through doing so, causing them a great deal of pain and damaging their sense of self. This is reminiscent of depression, self-deprecation, and depersonalization. The ashes here are likely meant to represent the damaged and burned-out state one is in after struggling with mental health.
*clears throat aggressively again and switches back to a Northwestern American accent*
A-at least that's what I see in it.

Oh my GOD my guy, it’s like you read my mind!

And yes, the flames and the fox are meant to represent depression and self-harm, but also the background has a tidbit of meaning as well.

With anxiety, I feel like my mind is constantly cluttered or overfilled, like static on a TV. And that feeling, it flips the way I talk to people, which is why the static is on its side. Some of the static bars are pink, some blue, and some white. Some are hopes, some are fears, and some are thoughts that had been thrown away in the mess.

Knowing I'm alone this time
And then I looked up
Into the giant's eyes
And I found my strength inside

Now I'm Goliath
I'm standing on the head of a giant
And I won't be silent
Until you hear me

Love this art! ^^ For some reason it reminds me of my anxiety disorder. Like a wave of worry-ness slowly eating me away.

I’m so glad you like it! I hope everyone can interpret it slightly differently, but yes, it’s about my anxiety and severe depression, and just the general feeling helplessness. 🖤
