The cold sweat machine is comprised of 5 stations that operate as an assembly line. This operation mimics the process an individual will go through while experiencing a panic attack, and so the assembly line produces cold sweat droplets as a symbol representing a similar outcome in men.

Just like a well-oiled machine, the human body undergoes repetitive and simultaneous  processes. These processes are halted when one of the processes goes wrong, like in a panic attack. This linear machines’ process is an illustrative proposal to what a person goes through while experiencing a panic attack.
