At a time when life feels anything but static, I find myself caught in the push and pull of the world’s ever-present expectations. My mind bends and warps, shifting with the gaze of the beholder. Thoughts trickle in, and battles of morality take place inside, often leaving me in the crossfire. What choices am I making now that will shape the rest of my life? What kind of person do I want to be in this world? Truths I once held as unshakable now seem fragile and uncertain.
I plunge into uncharted territory, striving for a sense of success, even as pitfalls and loss teach me hard-earned lessons. But at what cost? The clock is always ticking.
This collage captures a pivotal moment in my life—my junior year of high school—standing on the threshold between childhood and adulthood. Through a mix of literal imagery and conceptual elements, I aim to articulate the fragmented nature of my thoughts. Different pieces jostle and collide, struggling to form some kind of clarity.
