Agoraphobic
Isabel, Age 17
Isabel explores the mental health condition agoraphobia – a fear of leaving the house often associated with panic disorder. Her personal experience inspired this piece. The room was painted from a birds eye view to highlight how trapped being stuck inside can feel. A contrasting cool gloomy room and saturated yellows outside the window was a deliberate choice to emphasise a disconnect from the outside world and the longing to leave.
