looming large
Overshadowing everything else
Looming large means appearing prominently or feeling overwhelmingly significant.
Something that looms large dominates attention or casts a long shadow over other concerns: The deadline loomed large in everyone's mind.
The phrase often describes abstract threats, responsibilities, or influential figures whose presence feels inescapable: Her father's expectations loomed large throughout her career.
