THEME:

Like many folk, I’ve looked up to heroes my entire life - they’re aspirational in that they challenge us to be bigger and better than ourselves. They represent larger than life mythologies, but like any good myth, they always have something to teach us, something to say that reflects our world and ways we can navigate it. In connection with the theme, comics as an art form, and superheroes in general, became my guiding light as a kid, when the world seemed too big to understand. I found peace in these stories, and they continue to be a large source of inspiration to this day.
