While making this design for @nationalcleanwatercollective, there were several days when the water in my DC apartment wasn’t potable. I was making art about my connection to clean water and couldn’t even drink from my tap.

So instead, I focused on my connection to horseshoe crabs - a keystone species and an indicator of a healthy ecosystem. I grew up monitoring them in a river by my house and imagined a world where we didn’t need to track their existence (will share accompanying poem next).

This work was presented at the Collective’s “Wave of Change” fundraiser at @climatemuseum. What a dream to exhibit and speak at the Climate Museum alongside other amazing artists and panelists!

Huge thank you to National Clean Water Collective and especially to @syrahscott, @cdemarneffe and @sam_zachar. If you want to purchase the shirts and bags, check out the National Clean Water Collective on shopify - link in bio 💙
