Silence was inspired by a response that I received through my Anxiety Poll. The person described their anxiety as debilitating, as if trying to speak their mind is difficult. To represent this feeling I incorporated hands coming out from the darkness and holding the woman back. This helps to lend to the idea that this woman is trying to speak but can't as she is being held back by something.
