The inspiration for this work comes from my own experiences with anxiety. Breath and Terror are the two embodiments that rely on the other for strength that we seek to have control over. Terror is over taking and arises on its own as it sees fit. It’s aggressive and pervasive nature discreetly builds and seeks to overtake all that it can reach. Breath is centering and calming but must be fostered to properly be utilized. It is a feeling of regulation that creates an internal strength while having a slow and steady flow that leads to reason. 

Both coexist on opposite ends of a spectrum and need each other to thrive. Terror is amplified to its peak when it takes possession of breath and runs it rampant. Once terror has control of breath, it becomes an inescapable reality. While at its lowest, these moments are what give breath its truest strength. Breath is given the goal to overcome the reign of terror by steadying and uplifting one's inner self.
