This book explores the stress we face in life. Through personal reflections, it seeks to transform anxiety into a driving force rather than allowing it to consume us. Stress is like a snowman melting under the sun—if left unchecked, it will gradually drain our energy, leaving us feeling powerless.

The book uses materials like transparent acrylic, cotton, and black ink to make these feelings tangible. Transparent acrylic represents invisible stress that builds up over time. Cotton symbolizes light-hearted moments that can become heavy under pressure, like cotton absorbing water. Black ink shows how small worries spread and intensify. Together, these elements create a sensory experience that helps readers reflect on their own struggles with stress and resilience.
