In August 2022, I did not get a chance to escape my city, Chicago. As much as I love living there, I just missed the trees, the moss, the green. So I started drawing little houses, and the series evolved into “portraits” of houses, inspired by real places or vegetation, memories… Staring at the color green in the middle of a deadly, worldwide heatwave made me feel grateful. We get to remember the plants and the moss like we’ve seen them, smelled and touched them, not like it’s a distant memory from our ancestors.
