Anxiety

All I can hear is the beating of my heart echoing in my ears, my face is flushed from the warm blood rushing to my brain, and my lungs tighten as if they refuse to drink up any oxygen. My body is acting like Im drowning, paralyzed from the mind, I can’t tell which way is up or down. It seems like I live, breathe, and sleep anxiety - like stress is the new normal and I can’t get out. This piece depicts the many faces of feeling anxious, allowing me as the artist to remove the burden from the body and funnel it into a piece of art. “Anxiety” is a piece of me as much as it is a piece of you - this is our common ground.
