Avner Geller is an artist behind the project #ThingsThatIHear. He was inspired by everyday situations he was constantly overhearing and couldn’t help but bring them to life in form of illustrations. He described the conversation that helped him realize the potential:
“The idea for “#ThingsThatiHear” arrived when I was visiting a cookware store in Los Angeles. A young woman was looking at her phone and gave a big sigh, turned to her friend decisively and exclaimed, “He wants to go to Bali. But I say Fiji!” I couldn’t help but laugh. The absurdity of this “first world problem” was too much. From that moment on I started to catch all sorts of real-life conversations, that eventually turned into these illustrations.”
