Editorial illustration exploring the emotional rhythm of self-employment.
Brief:
Created as a self-initiated submission for the 2022 AOI Illustration Awards (Editorial & Exploration), this piece visualizes the recurring anxieties faced by entrepreneurs.
Idea:
I illustrated a looping cycle of tension, uncertainty, and resilience β€” capturing how these feelings often resurface throughout a workday. The visuals are layered, expressive, and intentionally chaotic to echo the mental landscape of self-employment.
Results:
The piece was selected for submission and sparked connection among fellow creatives navigating similar emotional terrain.
