Illustrating the Difference Between Wants and Needs

Erin Hanson is a photographer and artist who's trying to live a healthier, happier life. For a series of works called "Need to Want Less," she illustrated clever comparisons between the things she thinks she wants and the things she actually needs. She wants screen time; she needs sun time.

Her style is appropriately simple and, while not everyone will share her priorities, we can all relate to the struggle between short-term desires and doing what's good for ourselves. You can find her work on her website, Recovering Lazyholic, and on Etsy.
