The Shape of Panic

A monochrome ink drawing centers on a distressed figure covering their face, one eye visible between splayed fingers. The head is enclosed by a loose, organic contour that unfurls into abstract lobes, question marks, a spiral, small symbolic forms, and a speech bubble declaring “PANIC.” Heavy black outlines contrast with delicate interior linework, giving the piece the directness of a sketchbook illustration while turning anxiety into a surrounding, almost creature-like environment.
