Final Picture

Artist Statement
Lots of people in the world have anxiety. Anxiety can come from anything like work, jobs, family. The anxiety that I wanted to portray comes from choosing what to wear every day, like shoes.
Throughout our life our feet get bigger, causing us to need bigger sizes and searching for new shoes that were like our old. We accumulate shoes throughout our life, yet we only wear one pair of shoes a day on average. Looking at our own pile of shoes can be as overwhelming as going into a shoe store. I showed this by taking a picture of a huge pile of shoes that are all different.
I first took the picture close up to get the details of the shoes, but It didn't show that many shoes to make the audience overwhelmed. So, I made the pile bigger with someone standing next to it to show just how tall the pile is.
