Are You Okay?

Procreate, 2023

Are You Okay is a two-color photo lithography print illustrated digitally in Procreate. The limited color palette with the light sepia background aims to make the image feel dated but still relevant and creepy while being inspired by vintage Halloween cat decorations. The fish in the foreground is inspired by a collective of experiences from my loved ones; they feel like they’re sinking while being asked if they need assistance by a system that simultaneously seeks to harm them. I have yet to feel a similar level of stress from a system working against me but I hope to slowly gain some understanding through art and experience.
