Human Zoo (2020)
Gouache, coloured pencil & fine liner on Fabriano

Earlier this year, people all around the world were forced to stay indoors, have limited contact with each other and only leave their cramped-up spaces under special circumstances. Freedom of movement was limited and often unattainable.

What a peculiar experience it must’ve been for the birds, animals and plants who could now observe US from the outside, trapped inside our cages, unhappy and depressed.

Oh, the irony.​​​​​​​
This illustration was created for the virtual group exhibition, Pandemic Pandemonium, curated by myself on behalf of Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography's Illustration Department.
