Willow Smith and her boyfriend Tyler Cole will be locking themselves in a box for 24 hours as part of a new art performance piece titled The Anxiety.

Smith has been open with her own anxiety experiences in multiple episodes of Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk.

For her next project, Smith and her boyfriend Tyler Cole will be locking themselves in a box for 24 hours at LA's The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, and people will be able to oberseve both artists for 15 minutes at a time.

Cole's Instagram post with a flyer of the event describes the art piece as "A personification of the emotional spectrum within the human mind through performance art."

Page Six reports that both Smith and Cole will be able to leave the box for bathroom breaks, but won't be outside the box for more than two minutes at a time.

Smith and Cole will be separated from observers by a glass wall. The other three sides of the box will be made out of canvas, and will see the two artists write and paint messages as a form of communication.

LA Times notes that the pair will spend three hours on each emotion, but do not plan to speak a single word. Smith says, "We might grunt or scream - it’s going to be very primal."

Willow Smith and Tyler Coles' The Anxiety performance art piece takes place at LA's The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA tonight (12 March) from 9pm PDT.
