How the City Lights Flicker
Title: How the City Lights Flicker
Artwork by: YMI x @emilia.ting
Description: Thousands and thousands of people walk by each other going about their business under the flickering of the city lights. The bustling city stands as a representation of the pinnacle of human cooperation and extensive networking, ripe for meaningful connections and greater fulfilment.
But you’ve walked those same streets, and haven’t you also felt a sense of… ennui?
In our modern city lives, with the conveniences and opportunities to connect virtually with anyone at any time, it’s funny how many of us ask the same few questions about our lives, our relationships, and our trajectory.
We’ve captured these fleeting moments into a collection of mini-illustrations in the hopes that it may offer you some warmth in the cold concrete jungle.

As a girl growing up in a big, bustling city with a heart for the Lord, I understand the peace in the moments that should feel like pain. It’s like the LORD’s truth and presence is so grounding, that no matter the strength of the loneliness, my soul finds company with the Holy Spirit and can only bring art and way to love each other from it. There is so much bravery to what Emily shared in these illustrations and I am grateful to have seen them today. I know there are more of us out there who need to know this is normal to feel, and more importantly, that the truth can cover all of these emotions. Bless this project & artist & YMI team for bringing this to my screen
