Maria's Painting Anxiety

Maria is an art student who spends a lot of time in her college's painting studio. One day, while mixing colors at her easel, she overhears her classmates discussing an upcoming exhibition. They express excitement about showcasing their works, but some worry about the quality of their paintings compared to those of other students.

Later, Maria thinks about her own piece, which she has been working on for weeks. Although she feels proud of her progress, she cannot help but wonder if her painting is as good as or better than her peers'.
