Paradise Patrolled

In 2024, I created my illustration "Paradise Patrolled". It juxtaposes the serenity of nature with the looming threat of military force. Through a blend of beauty and foreboding, the artwork challenges viewers to consider the fragility of our natural resources and the impact of militarization on our world. It is a metaphor for the ongoing struggle between preservation and destruction in the natural world. It is a mixed media piece where I used ink, marker, colored pencil, and paint pen.
