When Everything Gets Too Loud

The statement initially impressing my mind for this artwork is

"The past is behind you. Your life is not!"

But this artwork can apply markedly to anxiety when it becomes overwhelmingly painful and loud. Thoughts race, the body shifts into high alert and

sensations that would normally pass unnoticed can suddenly feel impossible to ignore. Tears are not always sadness.

Sometimes they are are the body's release valve when fear, tension and overstimulation have nowhere else to go. Anxiety

may be invisible to everyone watching, but for the person experiencing it, the distress can be intensely physical and very

real.

It could also be artwork depicting sensory overload associated with autism or ADHD!
