"My print, Invest in Love, speaks to my research on self-compassion and mutual care as forms of resistance to the catastrophe of the hostile environment. The hand-painted script is reminiscent of drawings made on windows misted over by condensation and speak of the intimate messages we write for ourselves or for others that can disappear as the moisture disappears.
These words are intended as a reminder for myself as much as for the viewer to remember to bring love into the everyday ‘ love for the Self, love for others."
