FAMILIA BOOK COVER

This piece about healing intergenerational trauma is illustrated with reproductive organs, covertly intermingling to form a succession of faces, which alludes to the intrinsic nature of birth, death, and lineage. Light emerges from the openings at the tops of their heads to convey revelations experienced and shared. The imagery is meant to be unsettling with its chaotic colour palette and intensity, to echo the disorienting experience of healing. Zooming out, a pattern emerges to suggest ancestors becoming larger than life through legacy.
