The goal of Panic was to portray the internal reality of a character experiencing a panic attack. In order to convey the symptoms and sensations the character endures, we explored elements of visual metaphor, movement, and color.

To represent a panic attack, we decided on three distinct acts to represent a panic attack before, during, and after. The viewer can gain a sense of what exists in reality without Xenia's anxiety, in order to truly understand the visual representation of her fears in her panic reality.
