The question that guided my sustained investigation is How does one’s mind and physical appearance portray the stress and anxiety that accompanies the high expectations set by their parents? I explored the feelings of being lost, anxiety, stress, not being good enough, and acquiescence. I contemplated how to portray these emotions utilizing the physical appearance and a glimpse into one’s mind. Having already experienced these emotions due to the high standards set by my parents, I took those thoughts and raw feelings and put them into visuals. I experimented with photoshop, physical pieces, blurring of the image, and straight lines in order to illustrate my state of mind throughout it all.
