_____________________________________________
This piece is about moving on, starting over, letting go and taking care of yourself. The images in the grid are cars, trucks and vans driven by plants and animals, juxtaposed with some handwritten text in unique fonts. It is simply about giving space to hopeful thinking and offering a moment of humor. It’s the radical idea that taking care of yourself might be a politically health position, that encouraging this position might help others and lead to changed attitudes.
