These LINES MEAN SMTH;
Emotions and thoughts
that are difficult to express;
That are always there;
And that everybody has;
We are all in this together;
You are not alone;
During difficult situations in my life,
smth inside me kept pushing me to do
everything possible to get through.
Art has always played an important part in my life.
Using many anti-stress illustrated books, I started developing these lines in notebooks that helped me manage stress levels throughout my studies.
The first time I used lines in my Graphic Design degree was to illustrate a symbol, I choose the semicolon it being an international icon adopted by many to raise mental health awareness and prevention of suicide.
This creative process took my mind off when I needed it most and provided me with a relaxing distraction.
Over the years these lines followed and supported me when needed.
Recently I realized lines made me the person I am today. The minute I start illustrating what’s in my mind, my body starts breathing in a different way. I can accept that smth within me and be functional within society if I have my lines.
I hope these lines help raise awareness and support mental health.
