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 Acrobatics of Viewing Art
After weaving through a crowded Edward Hopper exhibit at The Whitney Museum, I was inspired to write and illustrate a humorous piece showing the multitude of forms and movements that museum-goers make for the sake of viewing art.
