1. Seeking Serenity - This piece is an introspective look at today's busy culture tendencies and the toll that being constantly busy is taking on our mental health. We explore the dissonance between societal praise for the constant drive to succeed, and the resulting anxiety disorders that can plague us behind closed doors. This project aims to normalize self care, and recognize the beauty in pause. We encourage you to take a deep breath, and identify where in your own life you need to reflect and reprioritize.
