Morning anxiety

A photograph of a small, homemade sketchbook held open in one hand, with the artist's pyjama-clad legs visible beneath it. The page contains a black ink self-portrait showing a bald head, round glasses and a tired, slightly anxious expression. Beneath the drawing, handwritten words read: “My anxiety levels are very high. Drawing myself to see if I can find a calmer place.” The date, 23-10-26, is written at the bottom. In the background, a round mirror reflects the artist holding a yellow phone. A blue and white crocheted blanket is visible beneath the mirror, and a black fountain pen is held alongside the sketchbook.
