2021
Draw Your Loneliness is the product of a year-long undergrad thesis project. It is a website that sets out to help its visitors face this terrifying feeling; to find peace and happiness in times of aloneness and loneliness. Using digital drawing and self-expression, we can make peace with these difficult feelings by making them visible, examinable, and less ominous. Draw Your Loneliness offers a way to connect with others who might have similar experiences as us by sharing our art and knowing that, in a way, we are not alone in our loneliness. If you'd like to learn more about my process and research behind Draw Your Loneliness, check the "🌐More Info" link below.
“Being alone and feeling lonely is like being in a dense fog where it is hard to see past ourselves and reach out to others. As daunting as it might seem, loneliness is not such a terrifying feeling if we face it head on. I invite you to experience the website and face these feelings, view all the artworks that people have submitted, or submit one of your own! Visit Draw Your Loneliness at eldrinb.github.io/drawyourloneliness/ (Note that this is best viewed on a desktop). Submissions are always welcome and appreciated.”
