 (Un)Seen | Our Moments with Loneliness  

📸#ShapeOfLoneliness Instagram Challenge 

 

What does loneliness look like to you?   

It could be a quiet moment between classes, a familiar corner of campus seen from a different perspective, or simply time spent alone with your thoughts.  

As part of (Un)Seen | Our Moments with Loneliness, we invite CUHK students to capture and share their own interpretation of the Shape of Loneliness through photography. 💚  

📷 Join the #Loneliness #UnSeen Hashtag Challenge!
