Illustrations + Digital Art
Hella Hyphae, 2023: A reflection on abundance, interspecies world-making/shaping and interdependent relationships. What can mushrooms teach us about resources and community building? How do we distinguish between abundance and excess? How do we know when we have enough? If we pay attention, our fungi relatives have many lessons on community care and collective action.
Tiger's Eye, 2023: A digital art piece & protection charm, inspired by a vision of a tiger's eye during a meditation and the protective properties of the tiger eye stone.
Say My Peace: A series of digital illustrations reflecting my personal journey (and struggle) with self-advocating, speaking my mind, and verbally articulating myself as an autist. Through Say My Peace, I give myself grace and permission to find the words and courage to express and articulate things that I could not say 'in the moment'.
Part I - Fuck Off & Deadbeat D'illusion, 2023: Inspired by Tierra Whack's song "Fuck Off", Part I 's theme is of protecting my peace and inner child and consists of two illustrations - Fuck Off, representing myself/my own internal dialogue and how I protect myself now as an adult (including from evil eye), and Deadbeat D'illusion, representing family elders/caregivers. In these illustrations, I am able to imagine what it would feel like to be validated and affirmed by elders/caregivers that are otherwise unwilling to accept accountability for their harm.
