Mapping My Heart — Dear Ruksi

Mapping My Heart

What would it look like to visualize the full spectrum of emotions we hold in our heart? Brenè Brown maps out 87 different emotions in her book, Atlas of the Heart. Inspired by her research, I set out to illustrate each emotion and capture the nuance and flavor of each one.

This project is still on-going and I have completed over 20 emotions thus far.

Inspired by Atlas
of the Heart

I have been a long-time admirer and student of Brene Brown. Her most recent book, Atlas of the Heart, ignited a flame of enthusiasm to illustrate all the emotions she mapped out in her book.
