De Optimist

The Optimist is a digital cultural magazine. Martien Bos from the Optimist asked me to make an illustration for a short story. This story was about a christian girl who first comes into contact with a world outside of her small christian world.

I mainly zoomed in on the curiosity of the girl, but also the shock she experiences. In the drawing I tried to make a cocktail of pop culture, doubt and christianity. It is a pity that things cannot go hand in hand, and that one thing can exclude the other. Even in the modern world in which we live.
