From far away, it looks like a person simply wandering through a park...but zoom in and look close up. The background is filled with words! Intrusive thoughts and anxieties and fears of being in this environment, when you know your phobia could spring out at you at any moment! The warmer months are my worst enemy and it feels quite literally like I am trapped in my house. The photograph was taken at Baffins Pond in Portsmouth and transferred onto fabric. The words were hand embroidered with colour matching thread to the background with every thought that goes through my head whilst in survival mode. The person seen in the piece is trying to make their way from point A to point B whilst danger lurks in any direction. She casts a shadow on the ground as she walks, but in this state, she is but a shell of herself, wishing to be invisible. Her body knows only fear and hypervigilance. The ball of fire in her head represents this overwhelm of anxiety, wishing she could escape but at the same time having to face her phobia head on and risk humiliation from those potentially watching.

This print comes in A6, A5 and A4 sizes.
