Anxiety Swoon , 2020
8.5 x 11 in (h x w)
Digital

Experiencing high amounts of stress for prolonged periods of time affects the brain's structure in the long term and affects how fast we are able to recover from these incidents. I wanted to portray intense anxiety that feels as if you're falling in and out of reality. Bright colors to reflect disorientation to the senses and expressions of discomfort of all the internal and external feelings/pressure inflected on the individual.
