I have struggled with a general anxiety disorder my whole life. When I created this piece I wanted to express through colors and abstraction how it felt to be inside my mind during a panic attack. Although I am now medicated and feeling much better in my skin, I still look back at this piece as a huge milestone in my creative endeavors. I took color, technical skill, and emotion and began to mesh them together.
