I started this drawing after taking one of the longest breaks in my career to date. In the last few months, many of us have spent a lot more time alone than we’re used to. The story of Sudan, the last male northern white rhino, has stuck with me since I heard it a few years ago, and I found myself returning to it these past months.

I have mixed feelings about loneliness. It is something I often try to escape but the nature of my work is that I spend most of my time alone. Being in isolation for the last few months has been an amazing test. Being able to sit with my loneliness, and finding that the feeling is temporary, has been really helpful in my relationship with solitude.
