Directing Change

Breathing

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

This art piece is about what grounds me, which is breathing. Whenever I get worked up or stressed out, breathing always helps me feel at ease. Breathing helps me stay focused on what’s important and stops me from worrying over small details in my life. In the background of this drawing, there are pictures of rain and oceans which are types of background noise I listen to when I do breathing exercises.
