Bodies, Choices, Words

Editorial illustrations created for New Jersey Monthly, a U.S. magazine addressing contemporary social and cultural issues. The artworks explore intimate and collective questions through visual metaphors: surrogacy is depicted as a couple holding a full moon, while the woman offering her uterus appears as a star-filled silhouette in the background, a quiet presence that makes space and possibility. The theme of new university programs in happiness is shown through a figure with a window on the body, releasing butterflies like thoughts finding shape. The sensitivity of medical communication is portrayed through a speech balloon filled not with words but with birds in flight, suggesting care, listening and gentleness. A visual language that opens room for complexity, questions and relationships
