ARTIST STATEMENT: For my 3D Love Language comic strips, I wanted to present examples of the five love languages and ways to express and receive love to/from others and ourselves. The β€œlove language” narratives that I present are words of encouragement, acts of service, quality time, physical touch, and gift giving/receiving. These acts of love can be used in romantic relationships, but I wanted to focus on love in friendships and with self. I used 2D monochromatic illustrations to first have a strong visual impact, and second a storytelling element. I want to simplify and reintroduce acts of love to the viewer using comic-style illustrations that many are drawn to and familiar with. Today, many of us have lost touch with the simple but powerful force found in acts of love. It is important to bring attention to a force found in everyday moments that can have an impact on a person’s life and create a ripple effect in the world around us.
