The piece "Tit’s Up" is part of a series based on my experience as a woman. While this piece represents a difficult point in my life, it also symbolizes strength. There was a time when I struggled with anxiety and depression, grappling with interior conflicts while presenting a composed exterior. Seeking help taught me that being open made these feelings less powerful and revealed the strength I had in facing difficulties. Although I still experience extreme anxiety on occasion, acknowledging these feelings and understanding that they are temporary allows me to move forward, knowing that each moment will pass.
