This artwork symbolises an anxiety attack where Natty experiences her surroundings as threatening and invading. She needs oxygen to breath properly. During an anxiety attack, the body’s sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to an increase in breathing rate. This is the body's way of preparing to either fight or flee from a perceived threat. Despite breathing more rapidly, the individual may feel as though they are not getting enough air. This paradoxical sensation is due to the shallow nature of the breaths and the rapid decrease in CO2.
