Through this painting, I tried to portray the feeling of anxiety and panic attacks. In panic attacks you can't hear or listen, see and sometimes you get lost in your surroundings and they start to feel different, weird and out of place.

"Progress is A quest

It's to find, test, and improve"

In my painting, the type of progress that I'm trying to represent is the progress and evolution of society and how we should focus on accepting people in minority social groups (such as women, people part of the LGBTQ, etc.). I made this painting because I hope that one day our society progresses and learns to fully accept everybody no matter their skin colour, race, religion or sexual orientation.

The sword represents strength, the hand represents the growth (wisdom) of humanity and the rose represents beauty.
