"As much as we hate to admit it, we're all very vulnerable. The SUN Project is a four-person art collaboration that focuses on the destructive and painful emotions caused by the modern society we often hide. Fronted by Mimi N, the group produces illustrations almost daily and have already built a 164,000-strong following. From loneliness to depression and social media addiction, the SUN Project perfectly captures the feelings you've probably felt on quite a few rainy Sunday evenings in their dark pictures.
"I've been drawing since 2007, and I started by making comics and drawing various creepy pictures as part of my epilepsy therapy," Mimi N told Bored Panda. Inspired by daydreaming and the internet, Mimi N said that the SUN Project isn't only about the dark emotions and social issues that we endure. It's also a homage to wonderful sceneries and fashion. "I just draw what I love, [the] boundary between life and death, beauty and ugliness, smiles and sadness. I love exploring [different] art styles and fashion trends."
"People usually know me from the SUN Project, and I am grateful for all the kind comments," the artist added. "I'm glad people can relate to it, but these social problems illustrations are only a small part of me. I also love drawing anime, fanart, my own comics and much more. I wish my art can make the world a better place."
Scroll down to check out their incredible images, depicting problems with society, and who knows, maybe they will help you to come to terms with your own emotions. At least for a little while.

Disappointment
My mom was always disappointed in me when I got even a B...but when it was convenient she bragged about my good grades
The real me
Introvert
I'm almost sure I'm missing the meaning, but this one seems to be pretty nice and relatively happy. Personally a room full of books and animals sounds like a good alternative to the real world.

I had the chance to grow up with a mother that helped us learning our lessons and make sure we could have remedial teaching when lost, while she never pressured us for good grades. Just made sure we did our best.
Congratulations
Recovery
I love this one. Been there and learned - if alive, don't even think about giving up.
Illusion
Attention
When the right people get sad, everyone cares. When the "wrong" people do, no one does.
Please, love me
Dead inside
Physical, psychological, financial abuse takes its toll. Self harm too...
Toxic
you think someone is beautiful at first, but their really a horrible person
One sided
Social anxiety
This is me. Please don't look at me or try to talk to me. I'm fine. Really.
Cyber judgement

Comfort me
Love
I like how the one on the left had to tear the thorns off the stem before giving the flower to the girl - he sacrificed more it seems, than the one on the right.
Self hatred
There are days I dream of this-- I wish I was a separate person so I could beat the crap out of myself.
Pointless
Make up
This one is very sad. Some people just take outside beauty as a priority and forgot they have an inside too
