I was using loneliness and now it’s using me.

i made this when i was feeling so isolated from other people, the bunch of oil pastel works i made all at once were made out of necessity for me in order to just.. feel connected to something, anything

i was expecting the response to this work to be along my line of thinking but most if not all responses i did receive from internet ppl and friends alike were along the lines of: “ahh, they’re playing together” … which really surprised me and i didn’t understand that perspective

now that i’m a bit out of that funk and trying to have some reflection moments.. like, oh my god of course people see is that way! and i thought this was an expression of my loneliness but i willed into existence obvious connection between three creatures

Himalayan Monal (Lophophorus impejanus), male, family Phasianidae, northern India

So much for stardust... ✨️
