Additional Details: Finally pressing the submit button can feel scary and overwhelming, especially for something important. This piece represents my anxiety and inclination to procrastinate when pressing the submit button. Often, I'll find myself petting my cat, reading a book, or staring at the blank screen, waiting until the last moment to submit something. As time has progressed, I've gotten better at submitting things when I'm ready to do so, as seen through the use of bright colors. To further convey the stress I feel when submitting, buttons are attached to the back of the canvas that people press, stating, "You have now submitted. You can't turn back".
