Hope in the Streets of NYC ⛅ (COVID-19 Series)
-
An exploration combining illustration with photography/photo-manipulation. It was heartbreaking (especially as a native New Yorker) to see NYC endure such crippling loss and confusion. Yet despite everything, I still saw people striving with unshakable resilience and strength. This series depicts creatures of hope walking through different parts of New York City as an embodiment of the NYC-spirit I saw everyday.
