Artist Statement
This piece was based on the phobia, Phagophobia, the intense fear of choking. I used Blender to create this piece, digital sculpting, texturing using premade materials from Blenderkit, and rendering.
This is my second attempt digitally sculpting a human. This was a huge improvement compared to my first attempt.
With this piece, I wanted to raise awareness of phagophobia, a fear of swallowing that profoundly disrupts daily life, making it impossible to eat solid food or take medication. I aimed to depict the inner experience of this phobia; the desperate desire to swallow, like a hand reaching out for something, yet held back by an overwhelming fear of choking.
