Later on I found out that not everyone can be aggressive and struggle with the enemy during the hardships of sickness. Many are only capable of “self-defense”. For such people it would be easier to draw some constructive pictures, to create an image of “prospering self”. Their battle is nothing else but creation of a better life, to which they want to come as soon as they can. They depict anything that they miss and dream of: the unreachable beaches, forbidden fruits, the unattainable hairstyles.

Some of them depict the goal for which they struggle. Some have a main motive to stick around, to live. They may have loved ones or unfinished business of utmost importance – to find love, see grandchildren, write a book, build a house. Any arguments for continuing the struggle are good.

One of the best helpers is laughter. Once we are laughing, we cannot cry. When someone is in the direst of circumstances, the irony is ill-timed, but the jokes always help. It’s good to energize oneself with humor. Some fighters even reward themselves with homemade orders and medals; generate newspapers revealing the details of their heroic combat to the world.

Still, this genre has forbidden topics. Yes, sometimes we all feel very bad. We want to cry, we want to confess to the world that we are afraid. We want to announce that our strength and will are gone. You can’t write about it here, and you can’t draw any fears here. Any visualization of suffering, pain and panic - makes them even more real. "To whine in pictures" may be a thrilling exercise, but not a constructive one. It makes no contribution to recovery, even though it might seem to provide support at times.

When we portray our capitulation, we put our signature on it. That's why for the purposes of this project we implore you to depict only victories and everything motivating or leading to them. Yoohoo!
