Artist Feature:
Aliyah Ahler

About the artist: My ADHD and anxiety causes me to feel constantly overwhelmed, and this piece represents the weight of several different aspects. I struggle with time blindness and management, and I frequently find myself feeling isolated and behind my peers. I find myself fixated on what I’m “supposed” to be doing, and instead shut down and go into auto-pilot, making me feel lost and out of control. I often don’t feel like myself and am stuck in an internal spiral.
