Moving and having to grow up in a foreign country at a young age changed me to become extremely self-conscious and almost as if the people's eyes and gazes were controlling my actions to fit to their liking. It became a habit to constantly think that everyone was judging me, even though they were probably just minding their own business. With these negative emotions, I wanted to portray the sense of uneasiness and uncomfortableness that I often felt whenever I was around people and when they were "looking" at me. It creates the atmosphere where my anxious and scared emotions are shared to the viewers. I hope that this work can be relatable to people that perhaps are feeling the same and I want to reassure those that they aren't alone in feeling this way.
