TITLE: "At my High School"

This image is a visual representation of my anxiety disorder and comes from a larger series of images that explores how that disorder has affected me and my everyday life. This image is specifically tied to my high school experience. The fog/smoke entity expresses the suffocation I used to feel everyday in the classrooms of my old high school. I am investigating how these mental spaces interact with these physical spaces, and how those environments are subsequently changed through these experiences. There is always going to be that lingering haze, the reminder of a time I thought I could never overcome. However, that haze is a also a reminder that these things actually can be overcome.
