I made this collage kit while feeling wildly disconnected from reality. During this pandemic, it feels so easy to lose touch with your clarity, aspirations, relationships, and so much more. Sometimes I find myself searching everywhere for meaning: from fortune cookies to antiquated books about the cosmos.

The detailed process of cutting out images for this collage kit allowed me to meditate deeper on these feelings. As usual, being creative became the gravity keeping me from floating too far into an existential haze.

I can’t wait to see what you all make with this kit!

 

We recommend printing these pages out so you can use good old-fashioned scissors and glue to do some arts and crafts. When you're done, send a photo or a scan of your artwork to hello@nearnessproject.com. Happy collaging!
