A poetic reflection on presence, mindfulness, and the beauty found in stillness. Created for a digital editorial article, each mental health illustration explores a different way to pause — to breathe, feel, and reconnect with yourself and the world. Slowing down doesn’t stop time; it makes us aware of its quiet rhythm, encouraging self-care, reflection, and appreciation for life’s subtle moments. This series combines digital illustration and editorial storytelling to highlight the importance of mental wellness and mindful living.
