Artwork: “Fiona”

By Sam Nelson

Fiona is a monkey trapped in reflection. Pensive about the state of her life and relationships, she finds herself stagnant and unable to move. She sits still for so long that forests begin to sprout from her fur and tiny planets begin to orbit her limbs. I think that Fiona lives in a kind of static dreamscape that a lot of us can relate to after the last six months of the global pandemic.
