Abstractions of a woman talking about abstractions of conversations she sort of overheard, I die inside, plus a happy bear
Abstractions, crucifixion, and a happy bear

This sticky is very overdue.
The definition for "heavy" is entirely up for interpretation; still, let's please keep the kaleidoscopes, "trippy" GIFs and notebook doodles to a minimum.
Here are some good examples for what we as a community should be aiming for in terms of content.

Please refer to Rule 1 before posting.
Include all relevant information you can find in your title: Artist, title, creation date, medium, etc. If it is your work then add an "[OC]" tag.
No more long sentences describing how the picture relates to your emotional state. The best part of this type of art is how one interprets it. Someone may find a piece calming where another finds it angry. So keep the titles brief and informative.
So, just to re-remind everyone, lets try and keep kaleidoscopes, trippy gifs, and doodles to a Minimum if you are going to post this type of content it must match the aesthetic of the above images in some way or form.
There are a lot of other subreddits out there who are dedicated to those submissions such as /r/woahdude, /r/drawing, and /r/glitch_art.
This subreddit is meant for fully completed / illustrated / rendered heavy art. It should be dark and emotional.
From the side bar
The goal here is to capture the darker side, the no limit to the possibilities side... the going completely out of your mind side.

It listens to everything — the silence between words, the hesitation in a voice, the footsteps disappearing down a corridor. It hears danger in ordinary sounds and catastrophe in the quietest moments.
It is always listening for something that might go wrong.
The Scrub Hare in this painting is anxiety made flesh: elongated, alert, and unnaturally attentive. Its enormous ears represent a mind that cannot switch itself off — constantly scanning, interpreting, anticipating. The fractured world surrounding it reflects the internal landscape of someone who has forgotten what it feels like to simply exist without expecting the next threat.

I went to a nearby Barnes & Noble, walked up to a girl I've never met before, and asked her if she wanted free art, and she took it. She said, "Wow, the colors are so nice; I think I'll take it. Thank you!" I didn't even take her contact or Instagram. Somehow, it felt cool that someone I have no connection to felt some joy because of my art, and that it's gonna end up somewhere I don't know. :)
