An archetype of modern anxiety materializes in an orange room, enveloped in an ethereal mist. With the briefcase of responsibilities at its feet, this flesh-like figure, an echo of the subconscious, stands as the guardian of a hallway lit by a distant light. This work is a reflection of how expectations melt under the pressure of social imperatives and the weight of a persistent inner voice. It is a portrait of the anxiety that characterizes these times, an echo of the "culture of effort.
