Academic Pressure , 2023
Pencil and watercolour on paper

This year I transitioned from middle school to high school and although it seems like it’s not that big of a deal, it was a HUGE deal for me. High School is where I really started caring about my grades and it got very ugly. Since I started caring about my grades that was all I cared about and I was over-stimulated and couldn’t handle the pressure. I drew about academic pressure, how I stayed up all night studying, how I hated the report cards even when they were good and about all the test scores. I coloured the brain in a way that showed that it was burning out and running out of ideas and slowly deteriorating. Grades and studying is all I've cared about for the past year since the transition to high school and it has been very difficult for me.
