We all have faced anxiety. The enormous weight of work we have day after day, the cycle of frustration we struggle to break week after week, and the overwhelming expectation we carry year after year… Emotions build bit by bit, time after time, ultimately become something impossible to ignore anymore. Now you want to seek for escape, to disappear from the spaces and people you once embraced, to run far away from your daily life…

Inspired by the the experience everyone shared, this project explore the physical and emotional landscapes of anxiety through structure and texture. Fluid, distorted silhouettes and fragile, broken textiles express varying intensities of emotion, capturing different moments of anxiety. Materials and natural dyes drawn from everyday life reflect the evolving process of self perception and its relationship with the space we inhabit.

Through these approaches, this project seeks to transform anxiety, visualising the journey of self exploration and recovery.
