We all go through times in life where we deal with overthinking. Along with it come feelings like anxiety about the future, feeling not good enough, hopelessness, and even depression. This has become a constant in modern life. In moments when these feelings are at their strongest, I wanted to control them, instead of them controlling me. :) I wondered, what if these emotions became an art installation? Which one would make me feel "This is it!"?

I looked for a large, abstract form that felt broken and worn out. I wanted circular or spiralshapes to show the feeling of being trapped in the same cycles. I chose materials that were abandoned, unusable, or recyclable, to show the causes and effects of depression. Hopelessness? I used a faded colorpalette to highlight that feeling. I also wanted the installation to be in the middle of the endless ocean, where its isolation would make it stand tall, just like how overthinking and being alone with our minds can make these feelings grow inside us.

But when I looked at the designs that matched my thoughts, I didn’t see something made of bad emotions; I saw beauty! Maybe, in the endless possibilities of the ocean, all those thoughts that wear us down are actually gathering to protect us from future challenges. Maybe sometimes beauty rises from chaos and makes ustronger. Everyone sees things differently, but maybe this is what feeling art is all about. :)
