This piece was created in response to Gillian Wearing. Using tape to wrap around my head causing restrictions upon myself. As anxiety causes overthinking which causes unnecessary discomfort caused by yourself. So by putting this tape upon myself and restricting myself it shows the discomfort which is caused by anxiety and how it manipulates how someone can see themselves and think about the world around them.

I chose to leave the harsh sounds of the tape ripping to create a further unsettling atmosphere for the viewer as it is an unpleasant sound. To further exaggerate the unpleasant thoughts which are constantly consuming and restricting an anxious mind.
