Angst in Five Movements As someone who lives with anxiety and panic attacks, I created this five-part series to map the emotional terrain of my struggle, from the first whispers of dread to the fragile hope of recovery.

In Shiver of Rage, the panic attack begins, a chaotic blend of fear and anger engulfing me.

Thorned Retreat shows me at the height of the attack, desperate to hide beneath a tangled crown of chaos.

Weighted by the Void reveals my lowest point, where helplessness crushes me, leaving me broken.

Fragile Dawn reflects the aftermath, a tentative step toward recovery, where I’m still vulnerable but beginning to find light.

Finally, Breath After the Storm is my exhale of relief, the moment the panic releases its grip, and I can breathe again.

Through these works, I share my deeply personal battle with anxiety and panic attacks, hoping to resonate with others who know this anguished journey. Together, these works weave a haunting narrative of struggle, surrender, and survival.
