“This art exhibit was my way of expressing my stress as a graduating student (Fine Arts Major of Silliman University),” says the artist Dolly Jane Sordilla. In an interview with the Weekly Sillimanian, she described her works (created through various mediums) as “honest and unapologetic thoughts everyone has” under intense pressure and  “overpowering anxiety” that one feels in their last year of college.

Because she didn’t have the option of abandoning her thesis, she opted to formulate her thesis through making stress as an art.
