“Mirrored Within” traces my journey through anxiety and self-acceptance. Haiz is more than a drawing, it’s the shape of my inner world, a reflection of fear and hope, chaos and courage. Through Haiz, I learned to listen to my emotions, to see beauty in the messiness I once tried to hide.

It began with a scribbled pencil figure, fragile, trembling, almost alive. Born from anxious thoughts, Haiz became my silent companion through self-doubt, school pressure, and the fear of never being enough. Each line was a quiet conversation with emotions I never dared to speak aloud.

The mirror represents reflection, the moment I faced both light and shadow within me. Each trembling line in Haiz reminds me that even broken emotions can form something whole. In silence, I found strength, to feel, to heal, and to keep moving forward.
