What is anxiety? How do you cope with it?
I represented anxiety in form of waves, they come and go. I chose colours based on colours symbolism and colour psychology. The gold is always present as a reminder of hope, prosperity and beauty within. There is darkness, but there is always a way out of it. I also used iridescent acrylics encouraging the viewer to explore the many shades.
I double coated the painting with epoxy resin; a luxurious and sophisticated element.

Lyrics written by Alessia Camoirano Bruges:
Dealing with myself and thoughts
when I look back it seems
I have done nothing at all.
Like a splinter
inside my chest
the future gripped to my fears.
Uncertain
like the survival of my body after the day you desecrated my temple.
I filled the blank spaces
with midnight habits,
my mother was crying at night
I could perceive her pain
even 900 miles away
her angst is on my shoulders.
The past of his presence.
I thought I was a battleground
like Carthage, they spilled salt all over me.
But I raised from the ground
and spread love all around me
life found its way to nurture my soul.
