It’s No Longer Death I Fear

This piece is about anxiety.

Not fear of dying — fear of losing my influence.
Fear of being erased from the narrative.
Fear of being present and left unheard.

The skull is not about death. It’s about awareness under pressure. The red "death" is muted to represent the shame I have around the anxiety i struggle with on this topic.

The phrase “lets be clear its not Death I Fear” isn’t theatrical. It’s literal. The fear still rattles me to the core, after the anxiety I felt on the brink of losing my daughter my body had experienced an anxiety attack so severe I remember it like ptsd.

Lingering effects I still struggle with confronting today the words behind this work show how important I feel it is to be a part of my daughter life, ill never stop fighting for her.
