Restlessness worry is a universal feeling that transcends boundaries and cultures, as depicted in this diverse collection of images. In the portrait of the "Sadhu" covered in cinders, we witness the restlessness of an itinerant ascetic who dedicates himself exclusively to prayer. This image captures the internal struggle and constant yearning for spiritual enlightenment. Moving to Kushinagar, a pilgrimage site in Uttar Pradesh, we are reminded of the worries brought about by drought in Bihar. The barren landscape serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by communities affected by environmental crises. The cannon positioned between merlons at Lepanto's fortification symbolizes restlessness on a grand scale - that of war and conflict. The walkway behind these merlons further emphasizes how unrest can be found even within supposedly secure structures. Contrasting with these historical scenes is an unexpected sight - the goat sculpture at MOMA in New York. While seemingly out of place among ancient ruins and religious symbols, it reminds us that restlessness can manifest itself anywhere, even within contemporary art galleries. Railings against a wall across Europe serve as physical barriers but also represent metaphorical obstacles that contribute to our worries and unease. They remind us that sometimes our own minds can become prisons from which we long to escape. In Forlanini Park in Milan, "Restlessness I" stands as an artistic representation of inner turmoil amidst serene surroundings. This sculpture encapsulates the restless thoughts and emotions experienced by individuals seeking solace or answers within themselves. Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, we see copies capturing moments frozen in time where disciples' faces reveal their own anxieties and uncertainties during such monumental events. The knuckbones players depicted on encaustic marble panels taken from Herculaneum showcase another form of restlessness - one born out of competition and desire for victory. These ancient games reflect human nature's constant pursuit of success and the worries that come with it.
