It’s that repetitive thought every minute of every day. It haunts you, from the minute you hit “snooze” in the morning to turning the lamp off at night, leaving everyday life virtually unlivable, and unenjoyable. It follows you, lurking in the shadows of every hallmark event.

What would it feel like if those inescapable thoughts took on a human form? 

A passion project that took me from my high school library to Cannes, France, and back, Out of Body explores what it means to feel trapped by those daily anxieties. At a loss for understanding how I was truly feeling at such a unique and formative time in my college career, I turned to writing. Creating Out of Body allowed me an artistic outlet for my own anxieties, laying them out for the audience to experience that same discomfort as I was.
