Modern day love.

We all know how much relationships and intimate connections have shifted, especially with this millennial generation. It’s funny how the marriages of our parents depended mostly on who is “good enough to be your spouse for life” in just few metres of radius, but has much changed?

Today, flirting is equivalent to a “like” on social media. Getting yourself a date is just a click away. “Intimate connection” lies in the exchange of photos, rather than words. I often see an artificial need for relationships, significant others, marriage. An artificial need which had turned more into a hunt “not to miss out” just like the rest, rather than finding a solid partnership, a conscious union. We are exposed to endless possibilities and options of finding a partner equivalent to our wants & needs, but this ongoing cycle of constantly swiping between choices had caused an emotional and physical drainage, which makes us either pick for whoever is “good enough” nearby, or nothing at all. I hope I’ve expressed my mockery of relationships in 21 century well enough to visually communicate my thoughts.

What are your thoughts? Maybe I can reincarnate them in my next drawings? Anyone relates? 💭
