Flotsam
About the show, prints, stickers and a new zine
Flotsam - A woman floats suspended in murky waters that dissolve into the void of space—half alive, half letting go. A place where answers blur and dissolve, where existence is never black or white but something in between.
The show
I can’t believe November is here. Somehow 2025 feels like a really long year yet, I can’t believe it’s almost done. Time went super fast prepping for the event and “Floatsam” was the final piece I decided to go with. I’m super thankful for everyone that came and for the chance to have these moments to create new things.
Stickers
I created some stickers with some of the designs I did in preparation for the show and also restocked the ones I did for the old one. You can find them at Slice Gallery.
Tao te Ching - Verse 2
Last but not least, I made a whole zine!! I’m so proud that I finished on time! And so thankful for my lovely husband taking care of my kiddo to be able to do so. It is an illustrated zine from the Tao Te Ching - Verse 2 that I previously mentioned that was a big inspiration for this show. It also gave me the opportunity to use the other illustration/design I didn’t choose for the show for the cover ;)
When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy complete each other.
Long and short shape each other. High and low depend on each other.
Note and voice make music together. Before and after follow each other.
That’s why the wise soul does without doing, teaches without taking.
The things of this world exist, they are; you can’t refuse them.
To bear and not to own; to act and not to lay claim;
to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.
Some last bits
The Art of the Newsletter - a really interesting interview about writing newsletters by the best, Austin Kleon. The reminder that these should be seen as letters to someone really resonates with me.
Father and Daughter short film animation about love and passage of time. I’m so glad to rewatch after so many years. It’s gorgeous, sad and beautifully made.
Ear candy: I’m obsessed with Rosalía’s new music “Berghain” .
