Weight of the World

The Weight of the World captures the heavy feeling of anxiety that comes from living in today’s world. With constant news of political divides, environmental crises, and global conflicts, it feels like there is nowhere for me or anyone to stand. This video animation tries to show what it’s like to feel surrounded by chaos, unsure of where I belong or how to make a difference. Amidst the chaos, I drew myself with pastel pencil in distress, hands framing my head in a protective gesture, trying to block out the overwhelming pressure.
