Problems affect people regardless of age, gender and nationality. This artwork concentrates on the personal problems of today's youth regarding issues of identity and their place in the world. The work expresses a moment when this young person feels all his problems crashing down on him. He is uncertain and fragile, feeling that his problems are insurmountable. Using lead pencil allowed soft, blended tones, creating contrast and texture.
