This work reflects upon interconnectedness. Depicted are the beings who cohabit this world. The marks used in these depictions are embedded with intent—care, wonder, and an impulse to question. As humans in the mix of many beings, how do we belong here? How do we agree and disagree, come together and repel? How do we behave alongside?
