The artwork will be a mix of collage and Op Art.  At the center of the piece, a person will appear to be falling towards a square, which serves as the focal point. The background will feature a complex pattern of geometric shapes, lines, and contrasting colors that create a sense of movement and depth (characteristics of Op Art).

Our choice of art was to create an OP art and a collage to represent the feeling of anxiety. The main elements we would like to use in our collage/OP art are shapes like a square, which can be used metaphorically. The person is going to be falling or stuck inside the square, and since squares represent stability, it implies that the person is trapped in an inescapable environment, which leaves them feeling anxious. (Pavlova, 2016) The choice of color will influence the environment of the artwork. If we choose the color yellow to be predominant in the images that are implemented, it is going to represent the feeling of anxiety and emotional fragility. (Thiel, 2019)

A study conducted by McCabe. (n.d.) Op art, short for 'optical art,' started in the 1960s. It uses shapes, colors, and patterns to make pictures that seem to move or blur. This kind of art plays tricks on your eyes and brain, making still images appear as if they are moving. Important artists in this style include Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, and Jesus Rafael Soto. Vasarely was one of the first to create op art, and Soto added moving parts to his pieces, linking op art to kinetic art, which literally moves. The term 'Op Art' was first used by Time magazine in 1964 to describe art that creates optical illusions. A famous exhibition in New York in 1965 called "The Responsive Eye" made op art popular. This style works by confusing our eyes and brain, using special patterns and colors that make us see movement in pictures that are actually still. (Google Arts & Culture, n.d.). The connection with science is pretty obvious as the art style relates to optical illusions that trick the brain.
