Does your relationship help you grow?
I was glowing with joy when I received an illustration assignment about the expansiveness of love! Published online as an interactive quiz and in the February 13, 2024 Relationships issue of The Washington Post’s Health & Science Section.
From the kind, listening bunny to the bat bringing heart-shaped cookies to their beloved, the little characters floating in my heart got to come out and play!

A Thin Line Billboard
Billboard design for Galeria Rusz/Rusz Foundation in Toruń, Poland.
When I was sketching ideas for the billboard, the radio was spewing out the latest horrors from Ukraine, numbers and strategies explained as if war were a game with no consequences to humanity. And as I was completing this work in summer 2022, I thought of the Palestinian people facing brutal attacks by the Israeli military.
While I have been privileged to grow up in bubbles of cautious stability, being from a country that committed atrocious crimes, colonized their neighbors, and was later silenced to “peace” by the American atomic bombs, I am aware of just how thin and complex that line is, between war and peace.

The Magic of Block Party Season
