I Illustrate My Emotions In My Last Days In Syria (8 Pics)

I created these illustrations to depict how I feel every other day as I wait for a chance to leave my home country, Syria. With daily life routines becoming harder each day in Syria, the pressure of planning to leave the country has left me confused, exhausted, and emotional. Rather than bottling it all up, I decided to make these illustrations to cope with my feelings, and I have found this way to be very therapeutic. This style of art is something new to me, just like what I’ve been feeling lately, but change is a big part of art and life.
