This series of drawings features real and imaginary anthropomorphized or caricatured characters of flowers, stars, and other non-human vessels. In these drawings I use humor to grapple with the space between myself and nature, myself and others, my mind and my body, and the strangeness uncertainty of the current moment on this planet. By humanizing these characters I attempt to understand and communicate with them in a way that feels familiar, as they grapple with a world rife with mixed emotions—joyous, sad, anxious, brilliant, in awe or in love—a fluidity of emotion fluctuating from moment to moment.
