Potential Cell No.11 - Tension

In my life, I always get nervous and anxious easily. I tried to find some materials to express this feeling, and I found silk socks can be the metaphor of myself---a female. It looks pretty, tender and meek, but it can have a strong energy and tension when I stretch it. Moreover, I stretched tautly, twisted, dragged and pulled silk socks to express my taut nerves and cells. I chose bright color intentionally to make the work look cheerful, but the shape is kind of sharp. It seems that there is a painful, anxious emotion behind the happiness.
