Abstract
In this article, the authors analyse a selection of 30 online visual artworks in order to identify conceptual metaphors related to the target domain of DEPRESSION. While a lot of research has identified these metaphors in textual and verbal modes, they aim to understand which conceptualizations can be identified in visual and pictorial representations. Based on the analysis of their corpus of examples, they suggest that, while some visual/pictorial conceptualizations of DEPRESSION reflect research that has been carried out on the linguistic and textual levels (standard metaphors), other conceptualizations appear in order to create novel and diverse metaphors (creative metaphors). This contribution reflects the importance of analysing the role of metaphorization beyond the verbal and textual dimensions, as a large number of artworks are based on metaphors that exist on the visual level.
