LISE GOOSSENS

a girl, a boy and his girlfriend on a date
A self-initiated illustration to go with an article about a woman navigating her first experience dating someone polyamorous. She cares for him deeply, but can’t stop imagining him with the other person he’s seeing.

I wanted to capture that feeling visually: the other girl’s hair curling around him, like an unconscious pull that tugs at his presence. It’s a quiet exploration of longing, jealousy, and the complicated emotions that come with loving someone who loves others too.
