Project: FOMO (Fear of Missing Out.)
The project presents through photography and sound the need to become aware of the real problem that is leading many people of similar generations to share the same diagnoses and symptoms: high levels of anxiety and stress maintained over time.
Many patients with various symptoms such as pain, digestive problems or sleep disturbances, not as the origin of the problem, but as the result of high levels of stress and anxiety maintained over time, and I, as a patient diagnosed with FOMO (fear of missing out), felt the need to accompany the process of self-therapy that I have carried out with the production of this work, with a parallel investigation on time and our relationship with it as human beings, from a humanistic, social and metaphysical point of view.
