Figure wearing an airplane seat belt next to the rounded ovoid window shape of airplane windows. The figure is mostly in grey-blue and grey-lavender with abstract smudges for head and shoulder, then gradual lines filling the extremities. a dark red upside down triangle marks the throat. Two dark red long skewers rise up the would-be-nose area. The color bleeds into the smudge of the head, as though the congestion is making the eyes heavy and swollen too.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
