In Fahrenheit 451, the author imagined a society where books are outlawed and curiosity is snuffed out. People were bombarded with sensations that substitute for thinking.  "You dont have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them" - Ray Bradbury.

There's no friendlier way to say this, we all getting dumber due to the doom scrolling, preferring fragments of contents and distraction over deep reading.

The president of the U.S has a grammar of a 5th grader, and his voters and all the ignorant individuals continue to be comfortable being uneducated with no critical thinking skills. My own country's vice president openly claimed he doesn't read books ( and yep... it's pretty obvious)
It is disheartening when you see people in leadership positions such as these.

Thats what inspired me to draw this... a book shop where it stands abandoned and undisturbed. The books were not burned, just no longer wanted because reading has lost its value. When reading stopped, so did the stories that give us compass we need to navigate reality, challenge our assumptions, build empathy and curiosity. 😢 i am not an influencer, but if i can encourage someone to pick up a book after seeing this drawing, I'd be so happy.

Thank you for reading this far and this artwork would be available at the exhibition organised by the very awesome people and . 💛🙏

Pretty blown away that you trust me to draw you. Thanks for backing my little doodle dream. 💛🥰🙏
