Introduction
Overthinking refers to the process of unnecessary thoughts. Since it can be
majorly focused on various things, it is generally differentiated between
rumination about the past and present, and worry about the future. Regardless
of words we use, we are talking about constant thought loops that seem to have
resolution. Thinking is a great ability of a human being, but our brain have
evolved to produce complex thoughts that allows us to understand information,
problem solving, planning, and learn from our past.
Inspiration and Concept
• There is no ear attached to the head, because the
person who overthinks usually do not listen to anyone
even though they can hear others.
• Eye part has been carved out and candle is placed to
represent that whatever they see through their eyes
will be an extra flames added into overthinking.
• And candles has been placed on top of the head and
have been lite. To show that overthinkers burn lot of
their time by overthinking and it drains them mentally
which is represented by showing the wax melting.
• They also go through physical pain and it is
showed through the hot wax is dripping on
their face and body.
• There is an crack in the neck to represent that
it is about fall apart from the body due to head
weight because of overthinking.
• I have used black colour paint to represent that
the person who thinks will be in their own
world which is full of darkness.
Process
• Process starts with mixing Terracotta and water in
a bowl as much as needed for the model.
• I have used Ply wood as the base for the model.
• Clay has been moulded using clay tools to make
humanoid face shape.
• Once the model is in shape, I have carved out
eye part and made few spaces on top of the head left
it to dry.
• Once it dries, it has been painted with black colour
paint and let it to dry.
• Candle was placed in the carved out places.
Materials used Mechanical tools used

• Painting brush • Fire lighter
• Candle
Conclusion
Let me end this effort by saying how much I
loved the outcome and how it perfectly
represents the pain and agony of an
overthinker. As the project brought up
unpleasant memories, emotions were high. The
clay was a problem, but then everything
worked out in the end, and it encouraged me to
always believe in the outcome—not just in
projects, but in life as a whole.
