ANXIETY

PHASE ONE OF THE ‘SLEEP PARALYSIS’ COLLECTION IS TITLED "ANXIETY.". I CHOSE BLACK DENIM TO REPRESENT THE DARKNESS AND UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH ANXIETY. VISUALLY, I WANTED TO DEPICT ANXIETY THROUGH A MODEL WHO APPEARS DISORIENTED, MOVING AROUND THE ROOM, SMOKING A CIGARETTE, AND DRINKING A BEER. THE AIM WAS TO CONVEY THE TENSION AND APPREHENSION OF NOT KNOWING IF SLEEP PARALYSIS WILL OCCUR.
