Photo essay on Grindr and loneliness from @ethandressen

This is a multi-photo carousel that tells a narrative story about the experience of using the dating app Grindr. Through a series of photos featuring a young man against a city backdrop and a consistent blue sky, the text overlays describe using the app not for hookups, but as a distraction from boredom, loneliness, and one's own thoughts, seeking instant validation but ultimately avoiding real-life connection.
