Issue 47: Fall 2021

Issues by New Orleans Review

Marina Fridman, Eye Drawings from The Fear Project, 2021, Graphite on paper

The Fear Project (Cover image by Marina Fridman) aims to transform our collective fears into a common ground through which we can connect and relate to one another. The in-progress art installation will combine drawings, community participation, sculpture, sound, and written text.

Shown here are eye drawings of recent participants of the project, who shared whispered fears that will become the audio component of the installation.

Fridman hopes to create an environment that allows us to recognize ourselves in another person, and to feel less alone in experiencing our fears. To learn more about the project and to participate, please visit www.MarinaFridman.com
