This Artist Illustrates People In Exchange Of Their Darkest Secrets And It’s Chilling

Sometimes, beauty lies in secrecy. The very fact that something is hidden or unknown makes it more beautiful, more desirable. One artist decided to harness this fact and make a brilliant, yet spine chilling series out of it.

An Instagrammer named Terence Eduarte from Philippine has taken up this interesting task and converted it into a serious project. The man gathered 100 of the most intimate confessions from his friends and strangers and converted them into anonymous illustrations. Have a look at some of the most interesting ones we’ve extracted for you!

1. “I am in love with my favorite singer that lives halfway across the world. I often write her letters and I’m hoping we can be friends one day”

 

2. “I wanted to visit my grandmother in the hospital but it was a long walk and I got lazy. The next day, she passed away.”

 

3. “To this day, only my boyfriend and I know that I was pregnant at age 18. Not even my poem on a bathroom door was interpreted correctly by strangers. The secret continues to be safe between us and the hotel room where it ended”

 

4. “I’m ashamed that I take pleasure in my friends fighting with their partners. It makes me feel better about being perpetually single”

 

5. “I think I’ll never find my other half because I have a hard time expressing and feeling love; it might sound weird but I would only feel love after watching films and series because of the beauty they hold”

 

6. “I’ve cheated on quite a few guys. And now that I’ve found the love of my life, he wasn’t ready for me. He was seeing me while he was seeing his ex. If there’s anyway to portray Karma in its purest, most painful and justified form, this is it.”

 

7. “I was born into a culture that never accepted me. Born to an Arab father and a European mother; I am constantly fighting two sides of my identity. Anxiety and depression have completely taken over me.”

 

8. “I’ve posted photos and stories on social media to show people how interesting and colorful my life is. However, it’s just the total opposite.”

 

9. “I tell people my mom died from cancer when she actually died from cirrhosis due to alcoholism. I didn’t want people to think she was a horrible mother. We were close no matter how different the alcohol made her sometimes.”

 

10.”I haven’t been posting any photo with my face on it since last year. I feel better than ever.”

 

11. I’m acting in a play where this guy has to act like he’s secretly in love with me. But when the play ends, we go back to real life where I’m secretly in love with him.”

 

12. “Many years ago, I was so broke that I stole a roll of toilet paper from my office.”

 

13. “I have a weird obsession with smelling the scent of paper and hearing the sound while flipping through the pages.”

 

14. “I wrote letters to my girlfriend every day. Every day until her lung cancer took her away from me.”

 

15. “He is the love of my life but I found that out too late. Whenever there is snow, it reminds me of him.”

 

16. “I buy stuff I can’t afford to make people believe I am someone who I am not. They see Prada and Burberry while my bank account is on the verge of ruining my life.”

 

17. “Father’s day will always be the time of the year I’ll envy everybody for posting how great their dads are. I used to be sad about it but now, I think I accepted that he won’t be that hero and role model every father should be.”

 

18. “I burned the suicide note I wrote a month ago. Today is a good day.”

 

19. “I told my unborn son I wasn’t ready to be loved by him. The next day I miscarried.”

 

20. “I want to ask my half-sister if our estranged dad ever touched her back when they were living under the same roof. Or was I his only victim?”

 

21. “Five years ago, I caught my third girlfriend cheating on me. That was the time I decided to have a boyfriend instead.”

 

22. “Although the nasty rumors that circulated about me were untrue, I don’t bother correcting them and let people think I’m not a virgin anymore. But the truth is, I haven’t even had my first kiss.”

 

23. “I lost my smile a long time ago. Now I go everywhere hoping nobody will notice that this isn’t my smile anymore.”

 

24. “I created an imaginary friend as a coping mechanism for my depression. Now I want to make her disappear but she keeps coming back.”

 

25. “I like playing with other people’s feelings because I’m unsure about mine.”

 

26. “I am a journalist secretly dating a high-profile and controversial public official. If this gets out, I’m almost certain I’ll lose my job.”

 

27. “I overdo things and I constantly make myself the center of attention because I’m terrified of being forgotten.”

 

28. “I made up an entire part of my life. People believe some of the things actually happened, but really a lot of my stories are fake.”

 

29. “I talk to myself everyday in the mirror to rehearse how my day would likely turn out. Unfortunately, it never turns out the way I planned.”

 

30. “My bipolar disorder is completely out of control. No one knows, because I’m good at being fine.”
