“As much as we hate to admit it, we’re all very vulnerable. The SUN Project is a four-person art collaboration that focuses on the destructive and painful emotions caused by the modern society we often hide. Fronted by Mimi N, the group produces illustrations almost daily and have already built a 164,000-strong following. From loneliness to depression and social media addiction, the SUN Project perfectly captures the feelings you’ve probably felt on quite a few rainy Sunday evenings in their dark pictures.
“I’ve been drawing since 2007, and I started by making comics and drawing various creepy pictures as part of my epilepsy therapy,” Mimi N told Bored Panda. Inspired by daydreaming and the internet, Mimi N said that the SUN Project isn’t only about the dark emotions and social issues that we endure. It’s also a homage to wonderful sceneries and fashion. “I just draw what I love, [the] boundary between life and death, beauty and ugliness, smiles and sadness. I love exploring [different] art styles and fashion trends.”
“People usually know me from the SUN Project, and I am grateful for all the kind comments,” the artist added. “I’m glad people can relate to it, but these social problems illustrations are only a small part of me. I also love drawing anime, fanart, my own comics and much more. I wish my art can make the world a better place.”
Scroll down to check out their incredible images, depicting problems with society, and who knows, maybe they will help you to come to terms with your own emotions. At least for a little while.
