this recent work includes both digital and hand-drawn images that embody social, political, and economic issues across various scales and locations.

These images explore oil mediums, pen and ma rker, and digital collage. In particular, this covers environmental justice efforts--fighting for the right to breathe clean air--in the South Bronx, relationships between flora and building, and the experiences of social anxieties.
