An illustration series examining the quiet absurdities of online dating — specifically the gap between what algorithms promise and what emotional proximity actually feels like. Mundane domestic objects become surreal stand-ins for modern romance: incomplete, slightly awkward, and quietly ironic.

While dating apps can be playful and full of potential, they often carry a subtle sense of incompleteness — like a puzzle missing pieces or a conversation that fades before it fully unfolds.Romantik Notes

The series translates the emotional friction of modern courtship into tactile, still-life compositions. Familiar everyday objects become metaphors for fleeting connections, unread notifications, and the strange vulnerability of making oneself consumable on a glowing screen.
