“For this illustration for Weather by Jenny Offill, the Boston Globe art director George Patisteas and I decided to try a nonrectangular layout. We aimed to visually depict the moods of the novel, which says through its main character, a woman, that we can still be in love with what happens on this dying planet, and that life still has many meanings at once. In the piece, the woman’s facial expression shows the deep fear and depression stemming from her struggles with daily life and the world’s crises. The city and the endangered nature in the backdrop strengthen these feelings, but the door and stairs show the hope she still has for life.”
