"ESC" was born from a moment when I felt completely stuck — mentally, emotionally, physically. Inspired by the escape key on the keyboard, this piece is about that urgent need to break free.
The two eyes you see in the collage represent anxiety — always watching, always on. They’re that feeling you can’t shake, the weight behind your thoughts.
The single-line figure is the escape itself. It’s faceless, undefined — because sometimes you don’t know exactly where you’re going, you just know you need to get out. It’s movement, instinct, survival.
The buildings? They speak to office life. I don’t see it as something inherently bad, but I played a bit with the cliché of feeling boxed in by routine, by structure. Those clean lines and stacked windows — they’re part of the trap, in a way.
Even with all that inner chaos, the piece holds balance and strength. That was intentional. It’s a reflection of how it feels to be in control and lost at the same time.
"ESC" is a quiet scream, a deep breath, a moment suspended between breaking and becoming.
