The Shepherds

This illustration depicts an elderly shepherd and his grandson tending to their sheep in the mountains. I wanted to capture a quiet moment of connection between generations, set against the serene and timeless landscape.

Gift Box

Gift Box is an animal allegory. The story begins with a distress letter written by a pig on a farm, narrating the tragic tale of the pigs. It tells the connections between the pigs’ lives and real-life human experiences to express my conflicted feelings about the cost of living the good life.
