A whistle and a light, to attract attention, 2025.
Another round beaded object. I have one more round thing in progress and then it will be time for something else. I have another idea I need to explore.
3 postcards venting my frustrations about living in a car centric dull suburban city.
Image and text ID under the cut
[Text ID:
Postcard 1: There is something very sinister about the emptiness of suburbia. It is defined by a lack of everything. No trees, no buildings, no people.
Postcard 2: Flat emotionless concrete, stretched out for miles. You do not see the people hidden in their private carriages, protected in palaces so fortified they might as well not exist.
Postcard 3: To fight isolation, they suggest stepping outside. But you find nothing.]
[Image ID: A set of 3 postcards, with an illustration on the front and writing on the back of each.
The first image is of a yellow surrealist landscape with distorted traffic lights throughout, and a winding path that leads to a blue city in the distance. There is a simplified figure facing towards the city.
The second image is a blue city street with liquified distorted buildings, leading towards an orange glow in the distance. The figure is facing towards the horizon.
The third is an orange desert landscape with a large tree in the foreground and the character resting on it.]
In the heart of Gaza, where hope fades and destruction grows, nothing feels like life anymore. People die in silence—under the rubble, from hunger, from the cold, from fear. Children are pulled lifeless from beneath the ruins, and mothers scream with no one to hear. Every day we lose our loved ones, and a part of us dies with them.
We desperately need every hand that can reach us. If you’re able to help, please donate through (GoFundMe) or directly via (PayPal).
Your donation could mean everything to a family like mine. Don’t wait
i shouldn’t be in social situations i should be in the dark
