About the Item

Anxious Thoughts Ink drawing This piece visualizes a state where inner anxieties take shape and begin to constrict the mind. The octopus represents a multi-limbed embodiment of subconscious fears and mental patterns that entangle daily life and distort the perception of reality. Its tentacles symbolize obsessive thoughts that twist and tighten, making it hard to breathe freely. This is not an external monster but an inner demon born of mental blocks, stereotypes, and unspoken emotions. The work is part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of psychological barriers and the journey of self-discovery through confronting one's own shadow size of illustration 23-29 cm
