In the social environment that the writer has been involved in, the writer feels pressure that comes from the social sphere itself, such as feeling isolated, not being recognized for his existence both physically and mentally, and feeling betrayed by some of the people closest to the author. These feelings slowly made the writer develop an indifferent attitude towards the environment, distrusting the presence of new people, and being skeptical of the intentions and goals of those closest to him. The attitude developed by the author finally raises new dilemmas in the writer's social life, such as doubting the meaning of his presence in other people's lives, and a sense of indifference to the presence of others, but still a little hope that someone considers his presence important. The scope of the problem that the writer examines in the work of the work is the writer's sense of anxiety over the social environment that makes the writer feel isolated, not recognized for his existence both physically and mentally, and feels betrayed by some of the people closest to the author. The author wants to represent what the author feels through the medium of drawing, the use of fish symbols as a manifestation of the author's overthinking of an environment where the author needs social and friendship, and a distorted human figure as a reflection of the author's feelings of discomfort with the author's environment.
