A series exploring the chaotic mess that is being in your 20s, a period of life that is full of confusion, anxiety, stress, love and loss.

Stress is an internal feeling that is personal, indescribable, the opposite of visible, it’s the heavy chest and shaky hands, jittery nerves in the stomach.

 

In combination with elements of painting, layering and inverting images, I create a visual depiction of what I think stress looks like in a person, messy, pixelated, half painted and embodies my idea of who I am. Shown through the power of portraits and human emotional expression without a physical expression needed.
