Skull and Figs

A drawing from my series 'The Inside' in 2020 contemplating the physical but also invisible (emotional, media etc.) elements that we absorb and process in our bodies. I paired fruits and plants known to have positive benefits in the specific parts of the body depicted. I then incorporated natural ecosystems- both pests and pollinators and wove the body into the ecosystem.

This body of work (pun intended) was created during and in response to the pandemic, the intense political and moral division in the US as well as the powerful and necessary surge in the Civil Rights Movement.
